Diversity, equity and inclusion

At University of Pacific, we believe that diversity, equity and inclusion are essential to the fulfillment of our institutional mission. Diversity is an indispensable component of academic excellence. It enriches the educational experience by allowing all of us to share knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, and understand new perspectives and ideas that are grounded in all of the ways we are different and unique.

Statement of Diversity and Inclusion

Our future is tied to the future of Northern California. We invest in the surrounding community to help support and develop one of the country's fastest growing economic and cultural centers. Whether we’re providing dental clinics in San Francisco, helping Stockton third graders become proficient readers through Beyond our Gates, or providing legal advice to immigrants in Sacramento, we're devoted to our communities.
