Calendar: Inclusive Excellence Across Units

At Penn State Abington, "inclusive excellence" is not just one office, but an ecosystem that celebrates and supports diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) across every campus unit. This comprehensive system positively impacts students, staff, and faculty through multiple activities, initiatives, and events. The calendar above is maintained by the Inclusive Excellence Leadership Team and includes just a few of the many events one can attend to participate in the DEIB-centered culture of care at Penn State Abington.
