“We are building a strong infrastructure to sustain our institutional commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion to help get members of our community informed on issues and matters relevant to developing a more just, diverse, equitable, and inclusive climate.”
Utica College is a member of a prestigious coalition of colleges and universities across the country, formed to examine race and equity on college campuses. The Liberal Arts College Racial Equity Leadership Alliance (LACRELA) fosters greater understanding in combating these issues.
Developed by Shaun Harper, Race and Equity Center executive director at the University of Southern California (USC), LACRELA seeks to help professionals at colleges develop and achieve equity goals, better understand and correct problems, avoid and recover from racial incidents, and foster sustainable cultures of inclusion.

Grant to help underrepresented students interested in STEM careers
Utica College has been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support increasing the number of students from underrepresented minorities earning bachelors’ degrees in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Utica College is part of the Central New York Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) that includes a handful of schools throughout upstate New York, including Ithaca College, SUNY Cortland, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Tompkins Cortland Community College and Herkimer College. This alliance of small schools has two primary goals: to expand high-impact practices enabling underrepresented minority students to experience the maximum benefits of STEM education in a small school environment, and to strengthen transfer pathways to the STEM baccalaureate for underrepresented minority (URM) students who begin at a community college.
