Santa Clara University is committed to creating an enriching learning community with students, faculty, and staff of diverse backgrounds, respectful of difference and enlivened by open dialogue. Diversity is an integral component of the human experience, and encompasses but is not limited to issues of race, ethnicity, culture, creed, national origin, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability, marital status, socioeconomic status, or veteran's status. The University believes that a diverse student body prepares students for a uniquely ever more global world.
