Our Community
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
You’ll have a seat at the table. We are committed to delivering our mission to every student, not just some.
Belonging
A seat at the table.
We work so that every student thrives. A strong sense of belonging helps students with less privilege and power feel the same ownership and pride in their education.
Delivering our mission to all students means considering what we don’t know, listening with openness and humility, and engaging our community in meaningful conversation.
This work belongs to the whole community, with key working groups carrying out initiatives, practices and procedures.
What we mean
Three commitments.
Shared language helps us do this work together.
Representation
Diversity
Identity differences that shape social experience. Do students see themselves in our faculty, staff and peers?
Fairness
Equity
Equalizing the ability to thrive, and addressing unfair cultural and institutional biases.
Belonging
Inclusion
An environment where every member feels they belong, is respected and is valued for who they are.
