Student diversity initiatives and programs

The Hedgeman Center for Student Diversity Initiatives and Programs helps create and sustain an inclusive community that appreciates, celebrates, and advances student and campus diversity at Hamline University.

We support, empower, and promote the success of all students with particular attention to US students of color and indigenous students, first-generation college students, and others from historically marginalized backgrounds. In partnership with other university and community members, our initiatives help prepare students to live, serve and succeed in a diverse university and world.
