When we opened in 1891, our initial class of students included groups who had historically been denied equal access to higher education, such as women, Native and Black Americans. And we’re constantly evolving to live up to the ideal that all are welcome, even as we acknowledge past wrongs.
Working towards a diverse campus, where people from all types of backgrounds could work, learn and innovate together has contributed to our legacy of impact.
