Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The future lives here
embrace it. share it. celebrate it.

At Campus Advantage, we believe in more than just words and are dedicated to taking action against inequality. We are committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive culture — one where all feel welcomed, safe, and represented. The Campus Advantage DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) Team, a select group of individuals with diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences, is focused on initiative throughout the year to increase equity for specific groups. This team — along with our executive leadership team — seeks to educate and empower all Campus Advantage team members, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or religious affiliation.

We believe we can only achieve our purpose to serve and inspire our employees and residents to achieve their full potential when we create working and living environments that allow ALL to thrive, to be seen, to be appreciated, and to grow to that potential. It is with this purpose in mind that we dedicate ourselves to continue the important work around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We commit: To learn. To grow. To make change. As a company, we have made the following initiatives a priority, and continue to make an impact through:

A strong Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee along with DEI ambassadors throughout the organization

Expert guest presenters on a variety of DEI related topics
