"We strive to be a diverse community but also one united by a shared commitment to the free exchange of ideas, consideration of the opinions of others, and civility in all our interactions."
Marist College Strategic Plan
At Marist, we celebrate our community members' diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and contributions. The purpose of this web page is to summarize diversity efforts going on at the College and to provide a portal that links to information about diversity-related activities and resources both on and off campus.
Students with questions and/or concerns are encouraged to seek the services of the Center for Multicultural Affairs Staff located in Suite 337 of the Cannavino Library.
