Multicultural and Diversity

Multicultural and Diversity

Reinhardt University recognizes diversity as a broad range of attributes, experiences, and characteristics, whether expressed through race, ethnicity, or cultural heritage; sexual orientation; gender or gender identity; political or social views; learning, mental, or physical ability; age; or religious or spiritual beliefs. At Reinhardt, we seek inclusion through celebrating and creating a unique experience where each student thrives. This experience in turn, leads us to an understanding and appreciation of diversity which fosters a richer learning environment.

The Office of Student Activities, through its multicultural and diversity programming, seeks to promote a diverse campus culture and to foster respect for the differences that make each individual unique. Multicultural and diversity programming promotes diversity through activities such as film series, guest speakers, workshops, and off-campus trips.
