Advancing Diversity

TIP: Create an experience where you are the only one different from everyone else (this could be based on your values, appearance, beliefs, etc…).

Join us in celebrating and promoting safe and healthy community life for people of all races, colors, religions, national origins, socio-economic classes, gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, physical and learning abilities, and ages, by modeling behavior and articulating expectations that we live and work together in one community, bound together by our commitment to learning and respect for one another. We also encourage you to explore the university's Diversity Website to learn about events, services, programs, training opportunities and more.

Our Commitment to Institutional Change

We have a deep understanding of and commitment to the fact that to be an outstanding division and an excellent University we must be diverse in all aspects of our work. It is critical that we continue to communicate our values and expectations clearly, and report regularly on our progress.

Our Commitment to Professional Staff Development

We are fully aware that as we progress, we will make mistakes and experience conflict. We are committed to adhering to the principles of Our Common Ground in order to learn from this conflict and move through it to a place of further understanding, deeper appreciation, and respect. We do not wish to remain comfortable, for comfort will not move us forward. We intend to make progress.
