Diversity and Identity Resources
Wake Forest University is committed to being a learning community that values and upholds the humanity of all people. This extends to students, faculty, staff, and all university members participating in programs off campus. We encourage everyone to explore the resources below prior to departure on a study away program or before any WFU-sponsored travel.
Diversity Abroad
