About Us

MISSION AND VISION

Our mission is to guide UNC Charlotte toward inclusive excellence by creating a culture and climate where students and employees can access and thrive. We do this by leading in developing, integrating, and advancing the university's inclusive excellence strategy to support our vision of educating, inspiring, and empowering communities to champion humanity, care and dignity for all.  


OUR FIVE FOCUS AREAS

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion's efforts are the practice of Inclusive Excellence, which recognizes that UNC Charlotte's success depends on how well we center, value and engage diversity in our daily communication, relationships, structures and practices. While institutional diversity is inherent in our very existence, the journey toward Inclusive Excellence requires an intentional commitment to ongoing improvement led by inquiry, data and responsive actions. Below are our five leadership and support focus areas to build and sustain capacity for Inclusive Excellence.
