INNOVATION through INCLUSION

From its inception , Webster University has been an institution meeting unmet needs and opening worlds previously closed to students . Our student body is diverse in every way . Across the Webster worldwide campus network , we are a microcosm of the world itself .
Webster ’ s strategic plan focuses on innovation through inclusive leadership , to assure global mobility , action-oriented learning , and world-changing graduates .
For a quarter century , Webster has received consistent recognition for the diversity of its student body . Webster ’ s graduate programs award degrees to the most diverse degree-seeking student population in the United States among all non-profit private and public colleges and universities . This past year , nearly fifty-one percent of all Webster students completing a graduate degree self-identified as an ethnic minority .
When we resist disrespect , devaluing and disunity ; when we affirm we are all in this together , we open worlds for all .
