in our CSJ heritage that calls us to engage all people without distinction and
in service of social justice. Through our strategic initiatives, we will intentionally
integrate diversity and inclusion into policies, practices and procedures within

awareness and empathic understanding of the complex ways individuals
interact with local and global communities, while valuing the academic, social
and educational benefits that arise from a diverse community.
