A Welcome from Vice President Marshall

Dr. Marshall
Welcome to the home page of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs (DEMA). My colleagues and I have responsibility for a diverse array of programs, services, and activities that transcend campus, academic, and administrative boundaries. Our mission is to serve as an effective advocate for underrepresented students, faculty, and staff and to provide programs and services that promote excellence through diversity, equity, and culture at Indiana University.

I invite you to explore our Web site to learn more about Indiana University and what this great university has to offer.

Sincerely,

Edwin C. Marshall, Vice President
Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs
