Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Our approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

It's not just caring for the whole person. It's caring for every person, regardless of race, ethnicity, beliefs, income level, or gender, sexual orientation, and more. At Stritch, we foster a vibrant and dynamic community culture of inclusion that inspires and supports students to become leaders in medicine and biomedical sciences and engages faculty, staff, and students to know better, do better, and lead by the best example.

We seek excellence through community.
