Diversity and Inclusion on The Heights
At Le Moyne, we strive to create a campus environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered. The Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (EDIB) leads this effort, offering a wide range of programs, events, and resources to celebrate the unique identities and experiences that enrich our community.
