Statement of Inclusion
Wingate University strives to cultivate an inclusive and welcoming environment. The University affirms principles of fairness and social justice. We believe a diverse academy supports greater learning outcomes, enhances the campus ethos, prepares students and graduates for a multicultural workforce and society, and contributes to self-reflection and growth. We will work to be an institution that embraces inclusiveness and champions equity.
