"Faculty, staff and students expect NPS to reflect and exemplify leadership in all ways, including seeing competent, high-quality and valuable diversity at NPS's senior levels. As voiced to me by several of our student leaders: NPS is the place to reflect the excellence of successful leadership approaches to diversity."

NPS PRESIDENT ANN E. RONDEAU

Inclusion and Diversity Council

Mission 

The mission of Inclusion & Diversity at NPS is to exemplify a diverse organization (culturally, globally, and cognitively), where inclusive and diverse people and perspectives are appropriately reflected in relevant policies, plans, training, education, and resource planning. We can also impact DON through performance of our mission – educating future leaders. 

Our Vision

Diversity and inclusion are bedrock values underpinning NPS' interservice, interagency, and international campus. Our NPS community reflects the promise of our Navy and Marine Corps, our military and of our nation — that talented people from across the country, indeed from around the world — with different backgrounds, ethnicities, and life experiences — can flourish here. Inclusion and diversity of thought are part of our culture, not just as an academic institution, but as part of an unwavering value set that defines who we are and how we lead.

Our Principles

NPS embraces the principles of  equal opportunity,  diversity, and  inclusion. These principles apply to all aspects of the employment relationship and include, but are not limited to, initial consideration for employment, evaluation of performance, promotion and advancement, training, access to facilities, reasonable accommodations, awards, discipline, and termination.
