You Belong at Willamette

Willamette is an inclusive community where diversity is celebrated, every individual is valued, and students are empowered to thrive.

Celebrating Diversity

At Willamette University, you don't just attend college, you join a vibrant community where every story is valued, every perspective is cherished, and every voice matters. Diversity isn't just a word here, it's an active commitment. We understand that the strength of our community lies in its diversity, and we're dedicated to nurturing an inclusive environment that respects and celebrates each individual.

Our university-wide and individual school-level DEI Committees continuously work to foster a more inclusive atmosphere. From academic curriculum enhancements to faculty and student support initiatives, we are committed to ongoing improvement and active participation in creating an equitable community.

At Willamette University, you belong. Whether you're in the classroom, part of a student organization, or engaging in campus events, you'll find a community that supports your journey and celebrates your unique identity. Join us in creating an inclusive future, enriched by diverse perspectives and united by a common goal of excellence and respect.
