We strive to provide a place where faculty, students, and staff experience and contribute to a community that embraces and celebrates diversity. Through our collective efforts, we aim to offer each individual an equitable, supportive, positive, and safe environment that results in a place for all to belong and thrive.
Fostering diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is an active and ongoing process requiring the implementation of new programs and the evolution of existing ones. We celebrate our vibrant community where every member is valued, and together we commit to continuous learning, growth in thinking, and respect for differing perspectives and beliefs.

We focus on the impact of our words, actions, and decisions while striving to provide every individual with opportunity and community.
