We fulfill our mission by exploring ideas holistically. Diverse perspectives are vital to solving critical challenges, and we welcome all who are up to this great task. We support each of our students, faculty, and staff regardless of race, gender, ability, orientation, or identity.

Our pre-college programs show students from all walks of life there's a place for them with ACES. And we encourage admitted students to join the Illinois chapter of Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS) or any of the identity- and interest-based student organizations at Illinois. 

Our college and department diversity, equity, and inclusion committees work to include diverse perspectives in our hiring, retention, promotion, and teaching practices. The college committee also serves as liaison to Inclusive Illinois. For more information about diversity at the University of Illinois, visit the Illinois Office of Access & Equity website.

Please contact our committee members for information about ACES diversity and inclusion issues such as security and safety, resources, and training.
