A Culture Of Belonging
Empower every Voice, Inspire Possibilities
At Susquehanna University, diversity encompasses representation, belonging, equity and empowerment. Our vibrant community invites you to grow, explore and thrive.
Susquehanna’s dedication to equity, inclusion and belonging isn’t confined to the classroom. It lives through our students, faculty, staff and community partners who come together to celebrate differences and work toward a more inclusive future. Whether you’re engaging with one of our many cultural organizations, attending events like the Hispanic Heritage Month Dinner or finding support at the Center for Diversity & Inclusion, you will find a place where your voice matters.
Where Passion Meets Purpose
Straight from the Nest
“Susquehanna has a really close-knit community. Everybody is so interconnected with each other, regardless of race, ethnicities or where people come from. Everybody is equally invited to be integrated on campus and get involved.”
— Faiza Ahmed ’26
“I would describe the community at Susquehanna as very welcoming, very inclusive and like a giant family.”
— Lys Maurer ’26
“Everybody is appreciated for all of their differences and there’s a sense of unity among all the students, even though we’re all different in our own amazing ways.”
— Hannah Foust ’26
“I chose Susquehanna because of the community. When I came on a tour and to an event day, my family and I were met with warm smiles, and we felt at home. I’m also a first-generation student, and Susquehanna was here every step of the way. It can be a confusing and difficult time for first-generation students and their families, but at Susquehanna, we felt very supported and like the faculty and staff cared about me and my journey.”
— Sarah Bower ’25
“I would describe the community here at Susquehanna as very welcoming and very diverse. Everybody knows everybody. It’s nice. You walk around and you always run into people you know. Everybody is very supportive.”
— Logan Moyer ’25
“Language Lane was an event that made such an impression on me because, as a first-generation American student from the Dominican Republic, it was nice to see a space dedicated to inclusion.”
— Shannel Jimenez ’27
