Culture and Engagement

At Kentucky State University, we hold an unwavering belief in the transformative power of diversity, inclusion, and belonging. We are passionately committed to cultivating an inclusive community where every member of KSU is not only valued but also empowered. By promoting diversity, shaping inclusion, and forging a profound sense of belonging, we endeavor to create an environment that both reflects and enriches our campus and community at large. 

Our commitment transcends mere representation; KSU is intentionally weaving inclusivity into the very fabric of our campus and is working to ensure every individual experiences an unwavering sense of belonging. We work in unison with academic units, leadership, community partners, and national organizations to recruit, retain, and uplift underrepresented students, faculty, and staff, ensuring they flourish in their academic and professional pursuits. 

Through our visionary initiatives, transformative programs, and courageous conversations, we aim to challenge and expand personal narratives, fervently advocate for equity, and inspire enduring positive change. Join us in our mission to elevate Kentucky State University as a beacon of diversity, inclusion, and belonging, empowering our community to make a significant and lasting impact on the world.
