Diversity Outreach and Community Building Initiative (DOCBI)

Information Services is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment that celebrates, values and cultivates the diversity of our community while affirming our common humanity. In promoting academic and community excellence, DOCBI is committed not only to providing programs and resources that enhance knowledge and encourage understanding of diversity but to address the special needs of students, faculty and staff through education and technology.
