Syracuse University maintains an inclusive learning environment in which students, faculty, administrators, staff, curriculum, social activities, governance and all other aspects of campus life reflect a diverse, multi-cultural and international worldview. The University community
recognizes and values the many similarities and differences among individuals and groups.
At Syracuse, we are committed to preparing students to understand, live among, appreciate, and work in the inherently diverse country and world made up of people with different racial and ethnic backgrounds, military backgrounds, religious and cultural traditions, physical and mental
abilities, sexual orientation and gender identity. To do so, we commit ourselves to promoting a community that celebrates and models principles of diversity.
The Department of Public Administration and International Affairs (PAIA) of the Maxwell School supports this broader University mission and extends these efforts at the department level.
