Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
About Us
The Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) aims to foster a community of care and invite students, staff, and faculty into a community of practice.
The Office of DEI embodies care in a number of ways. First, we listen with compassion to understand the experiences that members of our campus bring with them to 海角社区 and the experiences they have while they are here. Second, we lead with curiosity by exploring what those experiences mean for each individual, what each individual might need to better succeed at 海角社区, and how we might serve in a resource, support, or advocacy role to help ensure those needs are met. Third, we make connections鈥攂etween individuals, between communities, and to campus and community resources to support connection, increase belonging, and promote success.
We also partner with individual staff and faculty and administrative and academic departments to identify ways to make our practices more accessible, equitable, inclusive, and affirming for the students and employees on campus. Our collaborations are designed to be transformative鈥攏ot merely transactional. We seek not just to do but to be鈥攖o live our values through practices we seek to hone and refine鈥攖hrough individual efforts and collective reflection鈥攐n an ongoing basis.
