Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We envision and commit to academic excellence, Catholic social justice, and respect and inclusion for all cultures and people. We honor and embrace the sanctity of individuals, including but not limited to all races, sexes, gender identities, gender expressions, religions, ethnic backgrounds, socio-economic classes, sexual orientations, marital statuses, public assistance statuses, veteran statuses, abilities, ages and residency statuses. We invite and support our students, faculty, staff, and guests in creating opportunities that include and explore multiple perspectives. 
  
We strive to provide a continuous learning environment that promotes: 
Student, faculty, and staff learning and development inside and outside the classroom;
Recruitment and retention of diverse faculty, staff, and students; and
Community engagement and partnerships to enhance rich learning experiences for all members.
  
We are committed to responding swiftly and appropriately to situations that are in conflict with our mission.
