Commitment to Diversity
The Office of Residence Life is strongly committed to diversity. A vital part of our mission is to create inclusive communities where students and staff represent diverse racial‚ ethnic‚ class‚ and age groups. The creation of such communities is essential to the personal growth of students and to their preparation for active‚ global citizenship. We believe students are most likely to succeed in an environment where everyone is welcome and where each person in the community can find someone in a position of leadership with whom they can connect. We give students the opportunity to work and live with people from different backgrounds‚ and‚ in the process‚ we encourage them to learn from one another in an atmosphere of mutual respect. We seek to ensure the continuation of this atmosphere through our recruitment and hiring of staff members from diverse backgrounds.
