Student diversity initiatives and programs

The Hedgeman Center helps create and sustain a welcoming and supportive community that appreciates, celebrates, and advances culture and identity at Hamline University. We support and promote the success of all students. For example, first-generation college students looking for assistance navigating campus life and students adjusting to being away from home. In partnership with other university departments, our staff and initiatives help prepare all students to live, serve and succeed in a global environment.
