CDGE Vision
The Center for Diversity and Global Engagement is a collaborative nexus of programs and offices that advance the following vision:
The College of Wooster has been committed to diversity since its founding in 1866. We believe that academic excellence in a liberal arts education requires a learning culture wherein students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds and points of view engage in dialogue within and across the disciplines on inquiry. Therefore, we actively seek and welcome diverse perspectives and people but also seek to redress legacies of exclusion and injustice, and to advance a global perspective by including members of communities from throughout the world. On the basis of these commitments, we seek to foster an inclusive learning community on our campus that intentionally builds diversity of race, class, sex, ethnicity, religious creed, national identity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, veteran status, and age among other areas.
CDGE Mission Statement
Through its offices, programs, and new initiatives, the CDGE fosters a collaborative and innovative culture of inclusion and local/global engagement for the campus community by developing intercultural and civic knowledge, skills, and behaviors.
