ST. OLAF COLLEGE COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY

Founded in 1874 to educate the immigrant, the first-generation student, women, and the working class, diversity, equity, and inclusion has been foundational to the mission of St. Olaf College. Today we continue to strive to be a campus of welcome where students, faculty, and staff thrive by bringing their full humanity — gender identity, sexuality, race, ethnicity, national origin, socioeconomic class, disability, religion, spirituality, and age — to the Hill each day. While much progress has been made since the founding of the college, our aspirations for inclusive excellence must be ongoing, intentional, and transparent to everyone in our community, both in the present and future.
