EQUITY DIVERSITY INCLUSION

Tritons Belong. The vision of the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is to create a learning and working environment where all feel welcomed and valued, which in turn leads to excellence in the classroom and workplace. All members of our campus community deserve respect and equal opportunity to thrive. 

Please consider a gift today to one or more our priority funds, each providing resources to level the playing field and ensure all Tritons recognize how their backgrounds, experiences and histories are part of our collective campus ambitions. 

The PATHways to STEM through Enhanced Access and Mentorship (PATHS) mission is to increase the number, persistence and success of underrepresented students in science, technology, engineering, math (STEM) and medicine. Your support strengthens PATHS’ all-access model for mobilizing a new, diverse generation of STEM leaders. 

EDI’s Racial Justice and Equality Fund advances UC San Diego’s commitment to creating a climate of respect and understanding. With your philanthropic support, we can open more doors to higher education, taking an active approach to inclusive teaching and learning while forging solutions that enrich our community. 

To transform the experiences of our Black undergraduate students, the Black Academic Excellence Initiative offers resources to increase levels of engagement and participation in co-curricular, academic and socio-economic supports. Your support enhances efforts of the Black Resource Center, now enjoying its 10-year anniversary, and elevates the Black experience throughout the campus community. 

Your contribution to the Latinx/Chicanx Academic Excellence Initiative supports vital resources like the Raza Resource Centro, also celebrating its 10th anniversary, and targeted initiatives like media partnerships focused on Spanish-language channels, which connect with Latinx/Chicanx students and their families to better improve engagement and inclusion of communities central to our history and aspirations.
