Inclusive Excellence

About

The Carl H. Lindner College of Business Office of Inclusive Excellence partners with the University of Cincinnati Office of Equity & Inclusion to further the university's commitment to inclusive excellence. We believe a supportive and inclusive culture is one that builds upon the diverse strengths of all.

Mission

The Carl H. Lindner College of Business cultivates an inclusive and collaborative environment where community members thrive and flourish. We promote a culture of connection and engagement to enable business problem solvers to tackle the world’s most challenging problems.

Lindner inclusive excellence is grounded in four pillars: access and engagement; cultural competence; crucial conversations; and ethics. Through these pillars, Lindner advances the principles of a just community with an emphasis on respect for each other, thoughtful dialogue and a responsibility to foster a positive climate. Lindner champions engaged experts in its faculty and staff and upholds access to higher education for all students.
