WE BELIEVE OUR BINGHAMTON COMMUNITY IS ONE THAT VALUES UNITY, IDENTITY AND EXCELLENCE.
The Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) acknowledges that from the impacts of Covid-19 to the Black Lives Matter protests, we all have a responsibility to be socially conscious and work to create a campus climate that fosters inclusion.
DEI includes the Multicultural Resource Center (MRC), the Q Center (QC), and the UDiversity Educational Institute (UDiversity). Our Centers and Institute can help you engage in these movements by:
- helping you to explore cultural competency and diversity education (UDiversity)
- supporting marginalized genders and sexualities through the Active Ally Program (QC)
- fostering inclusive and equitable communities through the Intercultural Welcome Series and MLK Week

UDiversity Educational Institute (UDiversity) offers an internship program for students to help create social justice based dialogues.

Multicultural Resource Center
The Multicultural Reource Center (MRC) offers programs, opportunities and events designed to increase acceptance, awareness and understanding of cultural diversity. The MRC works with students to create fun and engaging opportunities for Bearcats to explore and value their own identities and those of others.
