Diversity at University of Montana and in the Community

One of the university’s goals is to promote diversity and equality on campus and in the community.

“Diverse U” coordinator Joseph Grady says UM’s annual event is aimed at starting a dialog among students and community members.

He says the best way to do that is through in-person conversations.

“What we are trying to do here is get people away from the computer screen and to engage personally. Looking at each other and saying, you know, I think we all need a place to land, I think change is going to be possible we have to be willing to sit down and have that face to face dialog and be willing to be uncomfortable”

Grady says some Missoula businesses help continue the conversation off campus by hosting community discussions.
