At UMB, we believe that all people thrive, belong, and contribute wholly to the mission, vision, and values of the institution.

The Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion leads, builds capacity, and cultivates collective action to advance sustainable, systemic change that promotes equity and justice in all dimensions of the mission and culture of UMB.

Values

At UMB, we embrace and are committed to diversity, and we value inclusive and just communities. We oppose racism and oppression in all their forms. Equity and Justice are part of the university's Core Values.

In addition, the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion works to promote and embody the values of equity, justice, respect, integrity, sustainability, well-being, discovery, innovation, collaboration, leadership, and excellence.

In June 2022, the opening column of The President's Message was dedicated to discussing the core values of equity and justice.
