The Loyola University of Chicago Office of Student Diversity firmly believes that part of Loyola's promise to prepare people to lead extraordinary lives requires them to truly be a home for all cultures and people. They embrace all races, sexes, gender identities, gender expressions, religions, ethnic backgrounds, socio-economic classes, sexual orientations, abilities, and residency statuses. They foster the success and community building of historically underrepresented student populations through mentorship, multicultural education, academic support, and celebration of unique shared experiences
