Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We aim to recruit, support, and educate a community as diverse as the global workforce, and to celebrate the possibilities of our shared talents.

Diversity is a collection of characteristics that enrich our community by:

  • Challenging assumptions

  • Removing barriers

  • Inspiring thoughtful discussion

  • Contributing to the development of innovative solutions

In diverse, equitable, and inclusive communities, all members feel fully engaged and know that their contribution matters, both in and out of the classroom.

Open Doors, Open Minds

At McIntire, we prioritize inclusion because we know that communities flourish when good people, ideas, and differences come together and engage in meaningful exchanges.

Recruiting a Diverse Community

We actively recruit students, faculty, and staff who:

  • Enrich our classrooms through a diversity of thought and experience​​​​

  • Challenge assumptions and biases

  • Add to a respectful dialogue about the meaning of success and responsibility as business professionals and leaders

Fostering a Supportive Environment

We empower all members of the McIntire community to:

  • Acknowledge unique experiences and value differences

  • Engage more fully in and out of the classroom

  • Collaborate to break down barriers that limit potential and impede success

Educating Everyone, Every Day

Through programming and engagements, we work every day to educate our entire community to:

  • Learn from the talents and perspectives of all students, faculty, and staff

  • Acknowledge and respect differences

  • Be able to identify and understand implicit bias

  • Recognize the positive impact of diversity and inclusion on teams and performance in the workplace
