Western Kentucky University's ONE WKU Campaign
Western Kentucky University
Western Kentucky University (WKU) strives to ensure all faculty, staff, and students are treated with dignity, respect, and equity. To accomplish this, WKU worked to create initiatives aimed at reducing biases and shifting the culture toward a more inclusive environment leveraging the combined power of all units on campus to dismantle systemic discrimination, barriers to inclusion, and unequal opportunities.
The ONE WKU Campaign, which launched in 2020, comprehensively drives diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts across campus, including book clubs, deliberative dialogues, and the Inclusive Teaching Academy (ITA). The ITA was the first program in the state to be approved by the Council on Postsecondary Education for its Cultural Competency Credential.

While our work is just beginning, we have made some major strides in the areas of equity and inclusion over the last couple of years. I think our success is due to the creation of a collaborative process of change-making that includes a diversity of voice, talent, and thought; cooperation and teamwork truly make the difference.
