Diversity and Inclusion

Oxford College considers our campus diversity one of our greatest strengths. Whether you’re building relationships across cultures, deepening your understanding of personal identities, or advocating for a cause, these experiences can transform your worldview.

Oxford’s embrace of diversity, equity, and inclusion is multidimensional. We pride ourselves on the mix of people, beliefs, values, and identities that make up our campus, and on the opportunities we create to support, uplift, and care for each other.

Our community is not only composed of variety of ethnicities, races, and religions but a host of different socioeconomic backgrounds, gender identities, and sexualities. Student clubs and associations such as the Hindu Student Association, Oxford Pride, and the Black Student Alliance are just a few examples of groups who host events to honor, celebrate, and advocate for their communities.

All campus groups are open to any Oxford student and are chartered through the Oxford College Student Government Association, and include organizations like:

  • Asian Culture Club
  • Asian Fusion Dance Team
  • Black Student Alliance
  • Chinese Traditional Music Club
  • International Student Association
  • Korean American Student Association
  • Organización de Latinxamericanos
  • OxFirst
  • OxPride
  • South Asian Cultural/Identity Association
  • Taiwanese American Student Association
  • Vietnamese Student Association
