Be the Change

At Marist, we widen the frame of how we see others and the world. We embrace different perspectives and lived experiences,  and bring diverse voices into the conversation. We ensure policies, programs, and initiatives support an environment where all feel welcome, valued, respected, and heard. 

The result? Our students, faculty, staff, and alumni thrive in our rapidly changing global community, and feel empowered to challenge societal norms.
