Office of Institutional Culture
Welcome to the Office of Institutional Culture at Austin Peay State University. The mission of this Office is to coordinate and help lead institutional efforts toward creating and maintaining an inclusive campus environment. This environment must serve the needs of all students, faculty, and staff members by fostering a diverse and equitable campus environment free from discrimination and harassment.
A primary objective of the office is to provide campus members with educational opportunities to achieve their fullest potential, both as individuals and as members of society without obstacles or challenges due to discrimination or harassment. It is imperative that barriers for achievement be eliminated and the only limits placed on the potential of individuals are those of their own abilities and skills.
