Be Who You Are

Augustana University Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) leadership provides institution-wide knowledge, consultation and programming that promotes diversity as a means of achieving educational excellence and enhancing the quality of life for all members of the campus community.

A primary goal of the Augustana Office of DE&I is to provide academic and cultural programming with personal support that in essence helps all to develop the intellectual, social and leadership abilities with all aspects of diversity.

AU welcomes and embraces people from all walks of life to our campus community, and whether you are a student, faculty and staff, an alumnus or a visitor, Augustana wants you to experience university as a place where you can be who you are.
