Who We Are
The Office of Inclusive Excellence is dedicated to fostering a campus community “where everyone belongs, where excellence thrives.” We support the successful transition, engagement, and persistence of historically underrepresented communities — such as Asian/Pacific Islander, Black, Hispanic/Latinx, and Multiracial students, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and first-generation college students — as they navigate their college journey.

Through educational outreach, collaborative initiatives, and culturally rich
programming, the Office of Inclusive Excellence aims to create a welcoming and empowering environment for all. By strengthening connections across campus, we help foster a deep understanding of different perspectives and experiences. As students explore these perspectives, they are encouraged to reflect on their own journeys, grow as individuals, and contribute to a more vibrant and accepting University community.
Hometown Scholars
The Bradley University Hometown Scholars Program (BUHSP), is a groundbreaking initiative exclusively designed for students who attend high school in Peoria or neighboring cities. Our program seeks to bridge the educational and financial gaps that can stand between hard-working students and their dream of a college education. We won’t only unlock doors for you; we’ll walk you through them with the support of the staff from our Office of Inclusive Excellence. We offer an enriched support system, from a low counselor-to-student ratio to an array of academic services, ensuring you’re not just attending college but excelling in it.
