Diversity Statement
San Diego State University Global Campus is committed to creating a culture of inclusion where all individuals are respected, treated fairly, and provided opportunities to excel. We actively work to eliminate systemic racial injustices and stand against racism in both the San Diego State University and worldwide community.
The San Diego State University Experience
We deliver innovative educational experiences to all learners and realize our goals through a collaborative approach.
We celebrate human diversity.
We actively work to eliminate systemic racial injustices and stand against racism in both the San Diego State University and world-wide community.
Our success relies on the unique perspectives and worldviews that each individual brings to SDSU Global Campus.
We aim to attract students, staff, and faculty members who are capable of working hard and making meaningful contributions outside and inside of the classroom.
We seek to create an environment where everyone can stay, thrive, and actively engage with the community.
Exceed Expectations
SDSU Global Campus aspires to exceed the expectations of our students, SDSU and community partners, instructors, and staff. These stakeholders embody a rich array of identities and expressions of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, national origin, levels of ability, age, religion, and political affiliation.
Embrace Diversity
We embrace a learning culture where differences are valued as strengths, questions are encouraged, knowledge is shared, and perspectives are challenged in order to engage in respectful dialogue and personal growth.
Lead Change
We strive to be culturally aware of our behaviors as we envision ourselves as a world leader in innovative education. By recruiting and retaining staff, instructors, and students who are reflective of our ever-evolving global society, we strengthen our community and transform individual lives.
Update Spring 2025: In alignment with the next phase of our campus-wide strategic plan, We Rise We Defy: Transcending Borders, Transforming Lives, the SDSU Global Campus will spend the next several months evaluating progress toward the goals outlined in its 2020 diversity plan. We will also be planning the next iteration of the plan to align with the university’s second phase of the strategic plan, for the 2025-2030 period.

We encourage all members of our community to purposefully learn from one another through open and respectful dialogue and responsible engagement. We strongly preserve the right to free expression and encourage difficult conversations that help lead to improved individual and community learning and cohesion.
