Let us Strive to Create and Sustain Community and Belonging
The Office of Diversity and Inclusion supports the University’s mission of creating a more diverse learning community. Developmental and proactive in its approach and reactive to the constant challenges to inclusion and belonging in our community and our society, ODI organizes its efforts around offering compelling and representative programming, and ensuring that all Wake Foresters have an opportunity to benefit from all that Wake Forest has to offer.
These efforts promote a safe, growth-minded, and engaged campus community, wherein students, staff, and faculty – within and across multiple identities – can feel supported and valued in their academic, social, and professional endeavors.
Re-Envisioning ODI
On May 15, 2025, Vice President José Villalba announced a summer-long process to re-envision the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
This collaborative effort will engage students, staff, and faculty throughout August 2025.
