The Office of Justice, Equity, and Inclusion (JEI) promotes understanding, unity, and appreciation of the growing diversity of our campus, affirming the inherent value and dignity of each person, regardless of race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, ethnic heritage, age, disability, citizenship status, veteran status, physical appearance or other characteristics. The campus community celebrates diversity with respect and openness to the richness and wisdom of various groups so that students can prosper academically and socially.
Through the full use of all institutional services and resources, the Office of JEI works with all areas of the campus community to implement programs such as a calendar of social or cultural events and other co-curricular activities that are consistent with best practices and designed to support the success of all students. The Office of JEI offers opportunities for our student identity groups to meet and collaborate on programs and to find meaningful spaces on campus to gather in community.
Additionally, the Office of JEI supports training for students, faculty, and staff to foster a diverse and inclusive campus community. Our Catholic and Franciscan values call us to collegiality, peacemaking, humility, and service to one another. The Office of JEI ensures that ÃÄÄïÖ±²¥ is an inclusive community where everyone is welcomed, heard, appreciated, and valued.
