Welcome to the Office of Diversity and Inclusion

Welcome to the Office of Diversity and Inclusion where our goal is to demonstrate Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Acceptance at Jacksonville State University and our community.   We are striving to generate a campus of mutual admiration and kindness.  We are determined to live up to our motto as being “The Friendliest Campus in the South” by educating our students on the true meaning of being a friend and an ally. My grandmother often told me that kindness and education can take you places where money cannot. Through continuous education, we are equipping our students with the tools needed to succeed in all the places they will go.

Thank you,

Mrs. Charlcie Pettway Vann
Director of The Office of Diversity & Inclusion
