Midwestern University Careers, Benefits, Review

Midwestern University is an academic institution that has historically stood on principles, mission, and values. We recognize that supporting diversity and engagement is an important aspect of those principles. The University is committed to building a more diverse, more inclusive academic community and promoting equity for all. We pledge our commitment to undo inequities that exist in policies and practices, advance values of diversity and inclusion, and to create a truly equitable environment for faculty, staff, and students.

Midwestern University is dedicated to effect change, overcome inequities, promote greater diversity, and establish a culture of inclusivity that celebrates diversity. To support this goal, on June 5, 2020, Kathleen H. Goeppinger, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, announced and began implementation of the Midwestern University Call to Action Program and Five-Step Plan for Diversity and Inclusion.

The Midwestern University Call to Action Program and Five Step Plan is designed to bring greater awareness and education on the impact of racial inequity within the society and in health care education is an important initiative. This Plan’s implementation began all around the University’s Colleges, Programs and Departments via listening sessions to learn about our colleague’s concerns and suggestions and establishing various task forces in charge of reviewing department standards, broadening multi-cultural understanding about current issues through reading, videos, and other media, strengthening focus on community service projects, increasing financial literacy, supporting education, and increasing diversity among our workforce.
