Diversity can be an incredibly powerful force for change. Through One Penn State 2025, we view the University’s student body, faculty, and staff as a diverse collection of people with individual strengths and aspirations that we celebrate and are committed to support through our efforts surrounding equity, inclusion, and belonging. Diverse perspectives and contributions must be given the opportunity to flourish in a welcoming environment which has been fostered intentionally through the earnest effort to remove barriers that impede access or success.
