Everyone benefits from a wide range of views, and we are all made stronger by a mutual exchange of ideas and resources. Our Office for Institutional Diversity leads the university in promoting and fostering an inclusive and respectful culture that values and supports diversity.

CMU has six units under the Office for Institutional Diversity that strive to create a diverse university culture:

• GEAR UP/CD (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs/College Day)
• Minority Student Services
• Office of Gay and Lesbian Programs
• Native American Programs Office
• Upward Bound
