Diversity Advisory Committee


Kent State University at Trumbull is committed to providing an environment that recognizes the value of bringing together people from a wide range of diverse cultures, backgrounds and ethnicity. With that in mind, The Diversity Advisory Committee (DAC) is responsible for creating and supporting opportunities for the campus community to get together and experience diversity in all forms via:

  • Sponsoring events that celebrate diversity.

  • Developing strategies for bringing diversity into the classroom.
  • Increasing efforts to recruit students, faculty and staff with a diverse background.
