Our Mission to R.I.D.E.
Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Mission is to facilitate and foster a campus community that centers on inclusivity and belonging.
Our Vision to R.I.D.E.
Cultivate Learning Opportunities that Foster Intersectional Awareness and Understanding | Wake Forest University students, staff, and faculty will engage in curricular and co-curricular programs and initiatives that facilitate their capacity to explore, understand, and operationalize a broad range of concepts, experiences, perspectives, and opinions through a diversity, equity, and inclusion lens.
Empower All Academic and Administrative Units to Become More Inclusive | Wake Forest University colleagues will be presented with opportunities, resources, and materials to help them plan and evaluate their diversity and inclusion practices in using methods and “best practices” that directly contribute to the University’s mission towards a more diverse and inclusive learning and working community.
Strive for Intentionally Equitable Policies | Wake Forest University stakeholders will be able to identify, develop, and review policies that promote equity, diversity, and inclusion across academic, administrative, support, and logistical units.
Recent Updates
October 2, 2024: Later this month, members of the Baskervill design team will be on campus to share conceptual themes for the memorial, which will remember and honor the humanity of the enslaved men, women, and children who worked for or were sold to benefit the University.
Baskervill’s presentations will include early conceptual ideas and gather feedback from attendees. Please consider participating in one of the presentations to learn more about the next phase of Campus Memorialization.
