Diversity is a fundamental component of excellence for the USU College of Veterinary Medicine. It is not an optional initiative. The university sees diversity as both necessary and desired. For a few consecutive years now, Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine has received the Health Professions Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award. This national honor recognizes U.S. colleges and universities that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Ohio State University understands that diversity promotes a culture of inclusion. This means having an appreciation for the world beyond your own individual perspective. One of the school's primary goals is to foster an environment for working, learning, and serving where everyone can thrive professionally and personally. OSU seeks to create a space where everyone feels welcome, comfortable, safe, respected, and valued.
The Admissions & Recruitment team wants to see that you will openly and actively support these initiatives. Talk about the efforts that you plan to make in support of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at OSU should you be enrolled.
