Metropolitan State University of Denver is a unique, access-oriented campus community that values diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in all its forms. We are a designated Hispanic Serving Institution located in downtown Denver. Our student population consists of over 56% first-generation students and over 48% students of color. 

Within the Division of Student Affairs, we strive to create an equitable learning and working environment in concert with individuals who consistently demonstrate commitment to equity, justice, and inclusion. We value the diverse identities and perspectives of our students, faculty, and staff and recognize that in order to achieve a just and equitable society, diversity must go beyond simple representation. Rather, it requires critical inquiry and dialogue and a commitment to action. We strive to provide a foundation for all community members to achieve personal and professional success.
