Departments / Office of Inclusive Excellence

The Office of Inclusive Excellence was established in August 2021 with the appointment of Associate Vice President Sheri King, Ph.D., who served as co-chair of the President’s Diversity Council, to lead, champion and implement initiatives that remind us of our call and Marianist spirit. The Office of Inclusive Excellence fosters efforts to define, cultivate and support an inclusive educational community and workplace environment aligned with St. Mary’s mission and its Catholic and Marianist identity. The Office is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion through community building and partnering to serve the common good. The work of the Office is guided by the St. Mary’s mission, Characteristics of Marianist Universities and Catholic Social Teaching focused on the shared tenets of understanding, appreciation and respect for human dignity and cultural differences.
