We understand that promoting inclusion and diversity is an ongoing process that requires continuous learning, reflection, and action. As such, we provide resources and support for our students and staff to learn about and engage with issues related to inclusion and diversity. We also strive to incorporate diverse perspectives and voices into our curriculum, classroom discussions, and extracurricular activities.
