Inclusion
Inclusion is vital for success beyond college. We're committed to uplifting underrepresented communities in our projects and curriculum to ensure inclusion at all levels.
Diversity
The IDEA Institute acknowledges and incorporates the perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds of all students into its research. With a broader coalition of students, the goal of representation is met faster.
Equity
With equity comes equal access and equal opportunity. Through its funding and research, the IDEA Institute strives to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels more valued and supported.
Accessibility
Persons with disabilities are recognized for their abilities, rather than their disabilities, or stereotypical attributes ascribed to their respective physical or mental impairments.
