Diversity is a core value of life at the University of Minnesota. Our campus community is made up of students and staff with different backgrounds, interests, and experiences. Living and learning in a diverse community prepares you for a future in a global society. Here, you’ll be encouraged to think critically, grow intellectually, and challenge the status quo.
How do we define “diversity”? In the broadest sense. Our university community is strengthened by our students, staff, professors, and alumni who represent different races, economic backgrounds, geographic origins, ages, genders, religions, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, talents and beliefs, as well as those with disabilities both apparent and non-apparent.
MULTICULTURAL
COMMUNITY
As part of the U of M student community, you’ll find 200+ culturally focused student groups, nine student- run cultural centers, 14 multicultural fraternities and sororities, and some of the oldest cultural studies programs in the United States. At the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, you can celebrate your own culture and learn about others!
