Welcome to the Division of People, Culture and Belonging. We share with you our motivation, our passion, and our drive to reach new heights in diversity and inclusive excellence at Kent State University.
In September 2023, the divisions of Human Resources and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) merged to create the new Division of People, Culture and Belonging. Under the leadership of Vice President Amoaba Gooden, this division will enhance Kent State’s focus on the well-being of people and organizational culture while elevating the work of both units. The Division of People, Culture and Belonging will strengthen efforts geared toward Kent State’s institutional mission and vision and advance the university’s culture of care, kindness and respect.
Diversity Dashboard
Kent State University is committed to being an inclusive and equitable place for all who live, work and study here. The Division of People, Culture and Belonging created an interactive diversity dashboard that provides a detailed breakdown of our community.
