Grove City College issued the following announcement.
Grove City College President Paul J. McNulty ’80 has announced the establishment of the President’s Advisory Council on Diversity to further the College’s efforts in the promotion of a diverse learning community.
The council will help guide recommendations in the development of strategic initiatives for the recruitment and retention of students, the hiring of new employees and broadening perspectives among all members of the community. It includes faculty, staff, students and alumni who bring relevant experiences to the council’s work as the College addresses opportunities for enriching the campus culture and better preparing students for their personal and professional callings.
“I’m very thankful for the enthusiastic support of the council members and their willingness to lean into this important challenge. The College’s mission is to equip students for serving God and others in a broken world. Increasing diversity within our campus community will strengthen cultural awareness,” McNulty said. “Through our efforts, we will build a stronger Grove City College to prepare new generations for leadership that serves the common good.”
