Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at Capital University embodies our institutional values to:

• cultivate open dialogue and critical exploration,
• act in pursuit of human dignity and social justice,
• use multiple perspectives to create new knowledge and solutions,
• develop and apply the innate gifts of each person for the good of society,
• celebrate an empowering, faith-friendly environment of inclusion and respect, and
• nurture joy in our daily experience and optimism for a better future.

Capital’s DEI work addresses both systemic and interpersonal acts of implicit and explicit bias and discrimination. Learn more about Capital’s commitment to creating an environment that fosters diversity, equity, and inclusion.
