Diversity, equity and inclusion are a key part of TCU’s core values and a foundational theme in TCU’s Vision in Action: Lead On strategic plan. TCU is committed to creating an environment where students, faculty and staff thrive, and a campus community that is welcoming and respectful of all.

This page gives you resources on how to respectfully refer to others as they identify themselves.
