Diversity and Inclusive Excellence
- Students, staff, faculty, the broader community – we all have a responsibility to recognize discrimination and work to correct it, both through our own behaviors and through policy within the University. Our efforts lead to the reason behind the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Office: no matter who you are, you are welcome here at UW-Green Bay.

- The mission of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Pride Center, and the Centers at the campuses of Marinette, Sheboygan and Manitowoc, is to identify and respond to the concerns and needs of LGBTQ+ students, faculty, staff, community members, and their allies; to provide high-quality support services that contribute to the academic and personal growth of LGBTQ+ students, faculty, staff, community members and allies; and to offer a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ people and their allies.

Family and Personal Need Resources
- Free or reduced cost services aren't just about treating medical and behavioral health problems, the Wellness Center is also committed to promoting holistic health to optimize student success and mind and body wellness.
- Veteran’s Services is here to help you thrive at college and get the benefits you gain from service. About 500 veterans and dependents of veterans receive education benefits at UW-Green Bay each year. Of this number, 300 are military veterans or current service members. Some of these students are on active duty one week, and in the classroom the next. This is just one reason the transition from military service to the community can be very unsettling. We're here to help.
