Utah Tech University

Center for Inclusion & Belonging

Home away from home

The Center for Inclusion and Belonging (CIB) works to embody and further the university’s commitment to inclusive excellence through:

  • Increased engagement and personal success of historically underrepresented populations.
  • Partnerships across campus to support equitable and inclusive learning opportunities.
  • Foster a sense of belonging, through campus and community engagement and events, to promote and celebrate cultural identities.

The CIB operates under the principle that every person’s unique life experiences enrich campus life and adds a profound element to a true education. We invite ALL students to participate in the CIB events, to promote diversity, and to celebrate their own cultural identities as well as those of others. Again, the CIB is open to all students. Please take your time to explore our website and feel free to contact us with any questions, concerns, or suggestions. We also invite you to stop by the CIB to further see how we can assist you.
