The Office of Diversity and Inclusion promotes academic and personal growth of traditionally underserved students or underrepresented minority students.
One mission of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) is to serve as a resource that facilitates and promotes a learning community of multicultural understanding and exchange through collaboration, dialogue, and action. Under the collaborative direction of a Diversity and Inclusion Student Roundtable (DISRT) comprised of students, the ODI is committed to promoting and sustaining an inclusive atmosphere that fosters and enriches multicultural understanding among all members of the Detroit Mercy Dental community. The ODI aims to provide a supportive and safe space on campus for its students, to challenge acts of prejudice and ideologies of intolerance while seeking to advocate for all marginalized communities and cultures.
Melvin Lunkins’ office (455) will serve as your safe space, open door policy, never locked, you will always have access.
