Finding Unity in Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion
Unity Environmental University builds opportunities for members of the college community to think critically about their assumptions, beliefs and values as they relate to all cultures.

We are committed to providing a learning and working environment that is free of discrimination, harassment or retaliation. Discrimination, harassment, or retaliation of individuals across the college community are against our policy and mission and will not be tolerated.

We have a dedicated group of students, faculty, and staff that serve as leaders, mentors and role models to ALL members of our college community.
Our Approach
We promote diversity as an exploration of differences in a safe, nurturing and welcoming educational environment where everyone sees their reflection represented in the artifacts and individuals across the college community.
