Services

Texas Southern University's Office for Student Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is responsible for the development, planning, and implementation of workshops, programs, and activities. These activities are designed to enhance the academic success, retention, support, and personal development for our diverse student populations. The ODEI center has a dedicated commitment to diversity and multiculturalism. 

The Office for Student Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion serves as a safe space where students have the ability to interact with peers, but also a place for them to learn how to advocate, train, and organize. A major part of the office will be the implantation of a student driven organization that will assist with the dissemination of program
