The Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is committed to building an academic community whose members represent and embrace diverse cultures, backgrounds, and life experiences that reflect the multicultural nature of South Florida and our global society. Whether it be through one of our training opportunities, one of our cultural events promoting diversity, or one of our scholarships, you can connect with us to stay up to date with our events and opportunities.
Since our formation in 2020, we have implemented an institutional diversity, equity, and inclusion strategic plan, funded over 40 scholarships and fellowships for underrepresented minority students, trained over 480 panthers on a variety of DEI topics, and constantly strived to make FIU a more inclusive and welcoming institution.
DEI offers several scholarships and fellowships to propel underrepresented minority students' success. These funding opportunities not only support students but allow FIU to shape and diversify disciplines, industries, innovation, and research.
DEI is committed to providing faculty, students, and staff a welcoming environment where panthers from all backgrounds can thrive at one of the nation's top public research institutions. Affinity groups open up spaces for employees with shared experiences to connect, collaborate, and build community.
The Office of Civil Rights Compliance and Accessibility (CRCA) is tasked with making sure that FIU promotes a culturally diverse and inclusive working and learning environment where current and prospective faculty, staff, and students are valued. If any student, employee, or applicant has a good faith belief that they have been discriminated against or harassed based on age, color, disability, gender, marital status, ethnic or national origin, race, religion, retaliation, sex, or any other protected category, you can report any concerns to the CRCA team, through report.fiu.edu.

Our Division offers a range of courses, trainings, and resources for our University Community to continually expand their understanding of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. These opportunities can be self-paced and on-demand for individuals or even tailored to departmental training needs.
