At TCU, diversity, equity and inclusion are an educational imperative tied directly to our university mission and vision. This year, TCU’s actions were approving a resolution to adopt DEI into its core curriculum, creating a campus culture where everyone is respected and feels included. TCU’s core values and our ongoing commitment to building a comprehensive DEI strategy have earned us the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award for three successive years.
