Diversity Organizations

Students at Redlands celebrate diversity

Redlands is a place where diversity is both celebrated and explored.

Many of these efforts are coordinated by Campus Diversity and Inclusion.
Campus Diversity and Inclusion provides multicultural programming and also works to expand the notion of diversity and multiculturalism beyond race, gender and sexual orientation. “The Centers” (Multicultural Center, Women’s Center, PRIDE Center) are places where students can explore diversity within a safe, nurturing, and open environment.
