Welcome! The Caltech Center for Diversity's (CCD) mission is to provide policy and programming support for the campus' initiatives associated with student access, equity and inclusion.

The Center's interactions are strategically aligned with objectives to:

Promote and provide access to admission information and campus resources.

Support activities that enhance the inclusion of underrepresented, underserved and minorities (URM), women and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) students in all aspects of campus life.

Collaborate with the Caltech community and student affairs support services (both on and off campus) to ensure students are actively engaged and able to access resources that help them achieve their academic and personal goals and to graduate from Caltech.
