The UCCS Division of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) has been renamed to the Division of Inclusive Culture & Belonging. This change intentionally reflects the division’s priorities and goals and aligns with the advancement of DEI practices nationwide. Most importantly, it underscores our unwavering commitment to fostering a more inclusive environment at UCCS.

The Division of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion will be hosting the 2024 CU Social Justice Summit at UCCS from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 8. This year’s theme is Inclusive Leadership and Belonging, centering each campus’s commitment to fostering inclusive learning and work environments.

This past year, the Office of DEI Education and Outreach launched The Division of DEI Presents: DEI Munch & Learn series focused on ​educating and celebrating ​heritage ​and ​identity-centric ​months celebrated at UCCS. Throughout the series, over 200 faculty, staff and students actively engaged in discussions, shared meals, and deepened their understanding of diverse cultures and perspectives.

The Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is excited to announce nominations are now open for the Inclusive Excellence and Belonging Campus Award. This annual award recognizes outstanding contributions to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at UCCS by a staff or faculty member.
