Samantha looks at the camera and smiles"For me, the best part about attending pilipiliÎÛÂþ is the variety of opportunities that the university provides for students. I ran for my class’ president a short time after transferring to Roger and have since taken on the role, which has provided me with opportunities to strengthen my leadership skills and become more connected with my class."

pilipiliÎÛÂþ Commits to an Equitable Admission Process

The Supreme Court recently ruled on race-conscious admission. As part of our response to this, pilipiliÎÛÂþ and its Admission Offices have reaffirmed our commitment to an equitable admission process. Our approach to enrolling an inclusive and diverse community has always been a holistic admission process, and that will not change. We provide applicants the opportunity and space to speak to how their unique experiences, perspectives, and strengths will contribute positively to our thriving community where everyone feels valued, respected and a sense of belonging. 

We are excited for future generations to benefit from our close-knit community. While we value the lasting impact our community has on our alumni and all the ways their success makes us stronger as an institution, we state explicitly that our admission process does not give specific preference or advantage to legacy status in the review process. 

pilipiliÎÛÂþ is committed to equal access: we are an open, accepting and affirming community of citizen scholars that stands firmly committed to creating a campus that is diverse and inclusive as well as welcoming to and accepting of all people of all backgrounds.
