Stronger Together | Office for Inclusive Excellence | Sacred Heart UniversityWe Are Stronger Together

Sacred Heart University is founded on a mission to bring social justice to a broken world, and since our inception, we have been – continually and increasingly – committed to the realization of that goal – both within ourselves and the greater community.

As we reflect on great movements toward creating more equitable and inclusive societies, we see that strength was a result of a shared vision generated through collaborative effort. In essence, the innate understanding that “We are stronger together!” At SHU we address systemic inequities through self-interrogation, by championing unity and respecting the inherent worth and dignity of each other. We live the adage that the work of inclusion is the work of everyone.

Stronger Together is a message of action and hope for the future that will be evidenced by the efforts of many people's’ hearts and minds in support of diversity, equity and inclusion at Sacred Heart University.

Sacred Heart University is your home and you belong here. 

Our mission to prepare students for lives of professional success and personal and spiritual growth excludes no one. And it’s because of that mission—and the spirited way we live it—that students of different faiths, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds have made SHU the launching pad for their dreams and ambitions.

We are home to all races, ages, sizes, abilities, ethnicities, religions, languages, gender identities, sexual orientations, political affiliations, countries of origin and economic backgrounds.

If you witness any action that does not align with Sacred Heart University's community standards of inclusion and cultural belonging, please report the incident.
