Understanding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We believe that diversity includes the individual differences among people from differing:

• Social, racial, or ethnic backgrounds
• Gender
• Sexual orientations
• Gender identities and expressions
• Economic circumstances
• Personal characteristics
• Philosophical outlooks
• Life experiences
• Perspectives
• Beliefs
• Expectations
• Physical abilities 
• Aspirations

Each of these characteristics, both singularly and in combination, contributes to the richness of the Georgia Tech community.
