An Inclusive Community
At Spalding, we’re an inclusive community made up of people with diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives. We welcome and value everyone for who they are, with the most racially diverse student body among Kentucky’s private colleges—31% of students self-identifying as people of color.
Our campus brings together artists, veterans, activists, parents, faith leaders, LGBTQIA community members, athletes, and many others, each contributing unique abilities, backgrounds, and passions. Together, we create a supportive environment where every student can learn, grow, and thrive.
