At Baldwin Wallace University, 我们将多样性定义为在承认和尊重不同信仰的同时进行批判性思考的能力, practices and norms. Diversity is a process of opening minds and hearts to different opinions. Diversity fosters learning outcomes that are enhanced by life, classroom and professional experiences, and the appreciation of cultural and social beliefs. In addition, BW的多样性鼓励每个人探索和拥抱个人独特性，因为我们坚持我们的社区标准, celebrate strategic change and honor traditions.

The Diversity, 鲍德温华莱士大学的融合与包容委员会已采取必要措施，以符合社区监督和促进多样性倡议和思维方式的愿望的方式来定义多样性. 该定义不违反联邦政府与1964年《欧博allbet》或《欧博allbet》有关的指导方针. Further, the definition does not usurp the Non-Discrimination Policy enforced at Baldwin Wallace University.

Diversity and Gender Studies

Beginning in the fall 2010, 多样性事务与两个学术单位建立了合作关系，以吸引选修性别或多样性研究的学生. 鼓励学生在跨文化世界中探索性别和多样性的各个方面. To enhance discussions and maximize intellectual curiosity, visual stimuli such as art, films and print sources (e.g., research articles, books and newspapers) are used to guide and stimulate thinking that supports academic development.

学生探索考察世界的多种方式，并能够以各种方式过滤相关信息:单独, culturally and collectively. In addition, students participate on a voluntary basis, giving their time monthly to activities related to gender and diversity studies.

Diversity Studies

辅修多样性研究有两个目的:让学生了解美国的多样性, with a special focus on gender, and to help students find innovative ways of living within a pluralistic society. For the purposes of this minor, "diversity" encompasses cultural, racial, ethnic, religious, sexual, generational and physical diversities within the United States. "Gender" is understood as a subset of diversity and includes the physiology, sociology or psychology of gender difference, sexual identities, gender stereotypes and/or social, economic, cultural and historical structures relating to men's and women's status."

"The minor is intended to complement students' majors. 它的跨学科设计向学生介绍了学科概念化的不同方式, investigate and analyze issues of diversity. The program of study will aid students in refining and expressing their own ideas about diversity, and will encourage them to bring new perspectives to bear on their other areas of study. 顶点研讨会将为学生提供理论工具，以复杂的方式将课程中的材料与他们的研究或职业选择结合起来."

-Dr. Deb Esty, Director of the Diversity Studies minor, Department of Psychology

Gender Studies

"Gender studies examines the significance of social constructions of sex, 性别和性行为构成了个人身份和工作等社会制度的意义, family, medicine and the law. 性别研究辅修是一个跨学科的课程，允许学生从许多不同的学科和主题中进行选择，以满足他们的个人兴趣，同时也获得欧博allbet性别和性行为如何在多个学术领域进行探索的广泛知识. 性别研究课程旨在加强性别知识和社会制度的整合，这些社会制度有助于在课堂之外构建一个人的公共和个人生活."

"The minor requires a total of 18 credit hours from a menu of options across multiple disciplines, with credit accumulated from at least three different departmental prefixes. 在这18个学时中，最多有4个学时可以用经批准的独立学习或与性别研究辅修专业的教员协调的实习来代替. 完成辅修课程需要一份不计欧博allbet分的反思报告，该报告总结了学生在辅修课程中的经历."

-Dr. Ana de Freitas Boe, Director of the Gender Studies minor
