Carolina’s Diversity Plan
Beginning in 2005, UNC-Chapel Hill increased research and reporting to focus on the state of diversity at the University. Diversity and Multicultural Affairs has led a process that will help shape the state of diversity at UNC now and in the future.
Student Recruitment, Outreach and Multicultural Programs
As part of our unit's mission, the recruitment and retention of a diverse student body is a critical component. UNC-Chapel Hill offers some of the most innovative and emultated student outreach and recruitment programs in the country. Once part of our community, students are given opportunities to be involved in a wide range of cultural, scholarship and leadership programs. Students that become involved in our on-campus programs have opportunities for interaction and cross-group learning and develop skills that will last them a lifetime.

To comply with the vision of an informed and equitable campus, Diversity and Multicultural Affairs offers consultation, classes and programs providing education and information on diversity. Campus and community members are invited to explore their own ideas about diversity and to hear the ideas of others during presentations, films, forums, workshops and other events. Diversity and Multicultural Affairs also conducts research and provides reports on the state of diversity at Carolina.
