Committed to Advancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

At Gardner Webb University, we believe that engaging diversity, equity and inclusion is essential to achieving educational and institutional excellence. Every student, faculty and staff member not only matter, but their unique perspectives are the core of our strength and our success.

Gardner Webb is deeply committed to ongoing efforts to cultivate a welcoming campus climate that is inclusive, and an environment where students, faculty, and staff feel supported and safe. The Office of Diversity and Inclusion, promotes these core university values by creating an environment of equity and inclusivity that leverages diverse life experiences, ideas, backgrounds and perspectives.

In support of this commitment, numerous workshops, trainings, and programs are provided to educate and inform GWU students, faculty, and staff and celebrate the identities of the greater community.
