RMU President's Inclusion Council

Disabilities and Accessibility

The Disabilities and Accessibility workgroup seeks to advance RMU’s Core Value of inclusion by providing information and referrals on issues of accessibility and inclusion for all individuals at RMU. We promote the empowerment of people with disabilities and their success as members of the RMU community.

LGBTQIA

The LGBTQIA workgroup of the President’s Inclusion Council provides for the concerns and interests of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex and asexual community. This workgroup, which fosters an atmosphere of awareness and acceptance of all individuals, provides the Robert Morris University community with the means to accomplish these goals through research, leadership and action. We, as members of the RMU community, work to ensure that all people experience equality, inclusion and acceptance, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

Non-Traditional Stakeholders

The Non-Traditional Stakeholder workgroup seeks to improve the engaged learning and life experiences of our non-traditional students (did not immediately continue your education after you graduated from high school, attend college part time, work full time, veteran/veteran family member, commuter, international student or on-line student) through academic, social, and professional development. Our programming strives to build a community of effective leaders and communicators.

Race and Ethnicity

The Race and Ethnicity (R & E) workgroup supports the President's Inclusion Council’s strategic priorities and aspirations for enhancing the academic and inter-cultural social experiences of undergraduate racial and ethnic minority students, faculty, staff, and vendors. The R&E workgroup strives to develop and implement a robust structure to enhance the inter-cultural social and academic experiences for students, faculty, and staff by providing diverse expertise, tools, data, and programming. The R&E workgroup seeks to build and sustain vital inter-cultural and inclusive relationships.

Religion and Spirituality

The mission of the Religion and Spirituality workgroup is to promote an inclusive campus for all faiths. Religion and spirituality often intersect with other forms of diversity and contribute to students’ and employees’ well-being and development. The workgroup's current vision is to share information about the spiritual and religious diversity on campus and to promote dialogue about religious and spiritual diversity in a way that supports inclusion and well-being.

Women

The mission of the Women’s workgroup is to meet the academic, social and economic needs of women students, faculty and staff at Robert Morris University by advocating for policies and programs that engage and celebrate RMU women who seek to advance their hopes, dreams and aspirations at the University and in the larger world.
