Diederich Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

The Diederich College of Communication is committed to being a community that provides for equity, supports diversity, and creates an environment of inclusion. We have created the following College Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Plan to identify steps that we must take and to hold ourselves accountable. This work represents our college efforts to enact the work of Marquette’s strategic plan theme, Culture of Inclusion.

Our plan is rooted in Marquette’s Catholic and Jesuit values that call us to devote our careers and lives to the pursuit social justice. This includes a specific call to address racism in all its forms. To this end in June of 2020, faculty of the college offered this statement to students that outlined our commitments and addressed work that needed to be done. In addition, the college affirms the need to stand with journalists and other communication professionals who seek to report on and tell the stories of injustice.

This plan is a working document; it lays out a roadmap for the college. We will continue to engage our entire community to adapt and respond to our changing world. We invite our entire Diederich College and Milwaukee communities to become a part of the transformation process.
