Diversity & Belonging

We are called to love one another, and at Waynesburg University, we strive to offer an environment where all students can be seen, heard, and understood. As we prepare students to live lives of leadership and purpose for the glory of God, we want to foster an environment of collaboration and conversation. Waynesburg University aims to work alongside students to create a space that celebrates and discusses diversity & belonging.
