Diversity in the Community

С¸£Àûµ¼º½ students, faculty, staff, and visitors create and engage in an enlightened community that values human differences, intellectual exchange, social freedom, civic responsibility and global vision. Such a community promotes personal growth and interpersonal success and prepares students for citizenship in the pluralistic society of the 21st century. We all share a responsibility to make С¸£Àûµ¼º½ a welcoming environment for all people and all points of view.

In Admissions
Committed to achieving a balanced and heterogeneous campus, the college proactively recruits students who represent a cross-section of groups and societies within the United States and around the world. By drawing from the most broadly defined community, the college fosters intra- and cross-cultural communication, understanding and good faith, valuing equally the unique talents and approaches of individuals and the strong bonds they form around shared interests.

In Cocurricular Programs
С¸£Àûµ¼º½ College integrates cocurricular activities with traditional academics to create a holistic experience of diversity, both as an intellectual ideal and as daily practice. С¸£Àûµ¼º½ may join numerous clubs and organizations or attend a full such as festivals or retreats that support a diversity focus, from arts to politics, celebrating differences that range from race to gender identity. С¸£Àûµ¼º½ are encouraged to become informed, responsible citizens through student diversity programs, community service and engagement, and leadership activities.

In the Workplace
