The GVSU Inclusion & Equity Institute works with people, organizations and communities - locally, regionally and nationally - to deepen equity commitments.
Our process involves working alongside others to cultivate rich learning environments and meaningful outcomes, grounded in agency and action.
Our facilitators are a diverse group of academics, practitioners, community leaders and advocates who are passionate and committed to creating environments where everyone can thrive, individually and collectively.
Our commitment to community and public service is core to GVSU's mission and strategic priorities.

We foster meaningful, authentic dialogue around issues that enable or impede progress toward inclusion and equity. These shared learning spaces are centered in humility, and creating radically candid communication that cultivates growth and development.

We offer opportunities for self-reflection and personal assessment, highlighting attitudes, and beliefs and behaviors that make evident the dynamics of unconscious bias and systemic oppression.
We stimulate the ability of organizations to imagine themselves differently and to move toward a desired future. In doing so, we close the gap between who people and organizations say they are and how they are experienced by others.
