The Center for Equity and Inclusion is committed to ensuring that all students, faculty, staff, and community members understand, respect, and value their lived experience and that of those around them, regardless of differences, which include, but are certainly not limited, to differences in race, ethnicity, culture, gender, gender identity and gender expression, sex, sexual orientation, family structure, socioeconomic status, education, religion, spirituality, disability, age, geography, national origin, citizenship status, and language. We believe everyone is entitled to basic human rights and will endeavor to build a culture of respect and belonging for all who visit our campus, partner with us, and connect in our virtual spaces.
