The Lundquist College of Business seeks to actively foster a welcoming and respectful environment that allows each stakeholder—students, faculty, staff, and community members—to thrive.
An important aspect of our mission is to educate Oregon's future business leaders, which requires engaging all stakeholders in the understanding that diversity, integrity, inclusion, and respect are critical for a successful organization. We aim to recruit and retain a diverse student body by promoting an environment in which the full range of ideas, experiences, and perspectives of individual members are valued and respected. We are also dedicated to ensuring that all individuals hired for positions at the Lundquist College share these values as we work to improve access, excellence, and inclusion for all.

Territorial Acknowledgement
The University of Oregon is located on Kalapuya Ilihi, the traditional indigenous homeland of the Kalapuya people. Following treaties between 1851 and 1855, Kalapuya people were dispossessed of their indigenous homeland by the United States government and forcibly removed to the Coast Reservation in Western Oregon. Today, Kalapuya descendants are primarily citizens of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, and they continue to make important contributions to their communities, to the UO, to Oregon, and to the world.
