One Community
About The Vice President and Associate Provost for Diversity’s One Community Initiative
As a land-grant institution, Texas A&M University has both the privilege and responsibility
to extend broad-based education and to serve the public good. Thus, we commit to actively
serving as a resource for the community we call home. The goal of our community engagement
initiative is to create meaningful and sustained university-community partnerships focused on
working collaboratively to enhance the climate for diversity. This initiative seeks to advance
our goal of inclusion by drawing faculty, students, staff, and community members into
collaborative and mutually beneficial interactions and conversations that enrich the lives
of both Texas A&M University and the community. Our office hosts annual university-community
forums and establishes project teams to address strategic issues in an effort to ensure that
the University and the Bryan/College Station communities are seen as welcoming, supportive, and
inclusive environments for all.
