Students & Campus

Is DU truly creating an "inclusively excellent" environment for its Muslim students, a student population who may be faced with religious or racial prejudice? Further, how much can a college campus really do when it comes to protecting its students?

Since coming to DU as a graduate student last fall, I have seen the term "Inclusive Excellence" everywhere. It is prominent in syllabi, sprinkled across marketing materials and used frequently in conference rooms across campus. But what does this phrase mean and why does the university use it so much?

Programs like 1GenU, along with The Center for Multicultural Excellence and student affinity groups, are working to support first-generation college students at DU. 

In the summer of 2017 two IIC students had the incredible opportunity to evaluate a shallow wells program as part of a faculty-led student team from DU and Virginia Tech in Malawi, Africa.
