ÄϹÏÓ°Ôº

Recognizing that a transformative education calls us to learn across difference, ÄϹÏÓ°Ôº has established several priorities to affirm diversity of identities, experiences, and perspectives as a condition of institutional excellence, leading all who study and work here to honor difference with respectful understanding and to practice courageous citizenship for the common good. 

"Because I love it here so much, I want to help ÄϹÏÓ°Ôº reach its full potential to support students of color more. I am one of the founding members of the Latinx Organization of Achievement, which has created a safe place for me a Latina student on campus."
— Sammy Arocho '23
