MSU Denver and the Department of English are committed to active and strategic
initiatives in our work toward educational equity and promoting a culture of
access and inclusion for our students, staff, and faculty. We seek to sustain
an inclusive community where all individuals at MSU Denver and in the
Department of English are respected, feel a sense of belonging, and are
provided proper resources and skillsets to be successful. This success is not
limited to our humanities-focused education, but also to the broader
development of our students as engaged citizens and valued contributors to the
discipline, the community, and society.

MSU Denver is particularly interested in applicants who have experience
working with students from diverse backgrounds and a demonstrated commitment
to improving access to higher education for under-represented and historically
minoritized groups. Our student population consists of over 55%
first-generation students and over 45% students of color. We are a designated
Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) located in downtown Denver. As the third
largest institution of higher education in Colorado and the only institution
with an open access mission, MSU Denver is a model university for today’s
college students. The University serves the most diverse undergraduate student
population in the state, as well as the most first-generation students and
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals students.
