Office of Diversity and Inclusion
Living the Franklin Pierce Experience means being an active part of a welcoming, inclusive and equitable community of dreamers and doers. Franklin Pierce University’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion provides resources and guidance to ensure that every member of our community is celebrated in support of their race, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, creed, physical handicap, and/or neurodiversity.
The Office of Diversity and Inclusion collaborates with departments, individuals and external organizations to foster and promote a respectful, accessible, and inclusive community.
