Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø Pacific is a regional campus whose student community comes from around the Central Valley. The university embraces diversity, challenges perspectives, and transforms individuals. It opens its doors to individuals who look different from one another to a space of learning so that they will cultivate change for the good of humanity. The hope is that students will embark on a journey that is Christ-centered so that they are driven towards social justice and service to others.
The goal of our Diversity and Inclusion program is not only to invite students, but to radically include them into the fold and fabric of the university. We want to challenge our students to be uncomfortable and to strive to be servant leaders through awareness and dialogue.

2gether WE Stand: Is an affinity group formed for those who identify as multiracial. It is meant to provide community for individuals who are liking for a safe space to feel supported and heard. It is a place where an individual or community’s struggle can be voiced to others who can relate. Everyone is welcome to learn, participate and join our cohort.
The Work of Radical Inclusion
The work of radical inclusion is being willing to learn healthy, inclusive habits and unlearn harmful thoughts and implicit bias that can really harm others. The work of anti-racism is crucial if we are to journey into authentic inclusion.
The work of Diversity and Inclusion also involves spiritual formation. In 2017, the university was able to train student leaders in the work of spiritual formation and diversity. Below are a list a resources from Renew partnerships that weave together the call for justice in spiritual formation.
