The Office of Academic Affairs and Student Experience (OAASE) advocates for diversity, equity and inclusion through programming and community support and engagement. Our goal is to engage with the University’s strategic direction in providing accessible, inclusive, and equitable advising to students. We, as staff, commit to continuously educating ourselves on the history, concepts, and implications of discrimination in the United States and its effects for the graduate student population at the business school. Moreover, we aim to foster a safe community that values diverse people and perspectives while encouraging a culture of respect.
