Education and Social Equity

The Office of Education and Social Equity is focused on providing historically underserved/minoritized students the support, opportunities and resources that enhance their educational experience and facilitate their academic well-being.  For many students, OESE is not only a place to access and navigate resources but is a home away from home.  Simultaneously, our office will continue to work in the development and implementation of partnerships and collaborations in support of research and practices for the advancement of education justice, equity, and inclusion in all its forms.
