Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion

Creating equal access to opportunity for all to realize their highest potential and thrive in their chosen life path.
Ensuring our differences—whether race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and other points of differences—do not mediate success, nor determine access to resources or the right to personal well-being.
Being aware of structural inequities that may be inherited from the past, and taking active steps to correct such policies and practices.

Valuing the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our student body and accounting for such diversity in our policies, procedures, and academic experience.
Recruiting diverse staff and faculty in order to more adequately meet the needs of a diverse student body.
Adopting a strategy of diversity in learning; that is, ensuring that various perspectives are acknowledged and incorporated in our teaching and learning experience.

Creating a warm and welcoming environment where all members of our campus community feel a profound sense of belonging.
Cultivating the talents of all students, faculty, and staff, and mobilizing all members for service to our campus and the wider community.
Affirming the participation of everyone in the decision-making processes and the realization of the institution’s mission.
