Building A community of Reconciliation

The Kingdom of God is beautifully diverse – and the LPU community reflects that variety. More than half our student body are people of color, and we’ve welcomed students from countries all across the world. Maintaining, growing, and fostering that diversity is a priority across the entire LPU landscape.

All our full-time faculty and staff take mandatory diversity and inclusion training on an annual basis. Students fill out course evaluations that include questions about diversity and inclusion in the classroom. We aim to create equitable systems of recruitment and support for underrepresented students, faculty, and staff – like through our scholarship fund for people of color. Meanwhile, our Diversity Coordinator & Diversity Committee tackle issues and oversee proactive initiatives in order to create an inclusive campus.

Together, we’re building a community of reconciliation by helping students: 

• Understand diversity, multiculturalism, and justice from a Biblical worldview
• Develop intercultural skills
• Broaden attitudes to appreciate the complexity of a diverse world
• Prepare to cooperate and compete in a multicultural and global workplace
