DAAP Equity & Inclusion

At the University of Cincinnati, College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP), we value an inclusive and caring learning and teaching environment that allows for the development of creativity through our common and diverse interests.

Our college strives to be representative of all:

• races
• color
• religion
• age
• political affiliation
• ethnicities
• gender identities
• socioeconomic status
• level of ability/disablity
• nationalities/country of origin/national origin
• marital or family status
• sexual orientations
• veteran status.

While we know this list is not complete, we are committed to being an inclusive environment that empowers others to be their authentic selves.

• DAAP is in the second year of the P&G Diversity in Design partnership. This initiative supports students in DAAPcamps and both undergraduate and graduate students in the School of Design through scholarships and mentorships.
• Awarded the UC Equity & Inclusion Incentive Grant for 2022-23 to support training workshops for students, faculty, and staff.

Currently, the DAAP Equity & Inclusion Committee actively supports the college in the following ways:

• Visibility 
• Student Success
• Faculty Success and Curriculum Support

Committee membership is open to all DAAP students, faculty, and staff.

The University of Cincinnati embraces diversity and inclusion as core values that empower individuals to transform their lives and achieve their highest potential.
