At TCU, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are an educational imperative directly tied to the University's mission, vision, and strategic plan. Fulfilling TCU’s mission to develop ethical leaders and critical thinkers in a global community depends on the University’s ability to attract and retain students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds. For the fourth consecutive year, TCU has earned the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award, which highlights its ongoing commitment to building a comprehensive DEI strategy that aligns with core values and creates a campus culture where everyone is respected and included.
