91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø is an inclusive community that embraces the richness of its diversity and values the ways this enriches and transforms the lives of our students, faculty and staff.
We acknowledge that simply having a diverse community does not always translate into an inclusive one and that students arrive to campus with different levels of exposure to and understanding of the diversity that reflects our world. Diversity refers to the presence of heterogeneity or variety within a group. It is a demographic fact. Inclusion is about creating environments that expand access for all, ensuring that everyone feels valued, respected and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents. Inclusion is for everyone.
As such, we provide curricular and co-curricular opportunities for all to cultivate skills needed to effectively engage, communicate, and collaborate with others across differences. By studying, living, engaging with one another, and playing together, in-person and virtually, 91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø’s remarkably diverse student body hones the habits of mind, skills, and knowledge essential to successfully lead everywhere and anywhere in our increasingly diverse society.
Here are a few ways the college promotes global diversity and inclusion:
- Heritage/History Month Celebrations - At 91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø, we celebrate our rich campus diversity through our #Culture365, TRHT work, and targeted events for heritage/history months, from September to May, featuring guest speakers, lecture series, film series and service opportunities. These celebrations include Latinx Heritage, Pride, Black History, Disability Awareness, Women’s History, and Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage.
- Martin Luther King Jr. And Coretta Scott King Commemorative Week Of Human Rights And Social Justice - A week-long series of programs and events commemorating the lives of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King and continuing the dialogue around social justice and community change.
- A Safe Place to Be You - 91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø's Safe Zone program seeks to promote both a physically and emotionally safe environment for all students, faculty and staff. Through education, community resources and training, we will promote understanding to everyone on campus.
