Center for Inclusive Excellence

The Center for Inclusive Excellence elevates, celebrates and supports the diverse faculty and staff of San Diego State through professional learning, community building, advocacy, policy recommendations and organizational structures. We aim to foster an affirming campus culture based on the core values of excellence, equity, diversity, belonging and inclusion through:

• Recruitment of faculty and staff who are reflective of the diverse students and communities served by SDSU;
• Fostering an environment of inclusion for faculty and staff from underrepresented groups;
• Enhancing the career pathways of faculty and staff from underrepresented groups; and
• Cultivating relationships with the local community that advance the well-being of diverse individuals and communities.

All students, faculty and staff, regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin, who are interested in the CIE are welcome. Learn more by reading SDSU's Affirming Equal Opportunity statement.

To receive weekly emails with announcements, registration links and resources specifically related to inclusive professional learning for SDSU faculty and staff, be sure you are on the CIE mailing list! For non-SDSU colleagues, please sign up here.

The CIE logo is based on a symbol used throughout Mesoamerica by the Nahua, Mixtec and other Indigenous people to indicate "noble speech". It is used in the codices to refer to a teacher/scribe/poet who is conveying knowledge. It is surrounded by a square signifying the mortarboard often associated with academic scholars.
