Diversity Statement
As diverse members of the body of Christ, our shared faith compels us to work towards reconciliation with God, with each other, and with all of creation. Messiah University is dedicated to advancing diversity as a core Christian value as understood within its foundational documents in order to promote academic excellence and foster a culture of inclusion within and beyond the campus. We are committed to the process of building a community of diverse people, ideas, and perspectives that pursue intercultural competence and reconciliation in our working and learning environments.
