By offering programs, referrals, and community outreach, SGSS promotes development in the areas of lead ership, advocacy, mentoring, and wellness. We value being proactive, innovative, creative, progressive, and willing to take prudent risks. We value the differences and similarities among people and their multicultural connections. Student success is core to our mission. Our work is local in nature and global in scope.
Communication is vital in order for our collective work to be successful.
We value coalition building as a practice rather than an idealized theory. Our dedication to social justice is put into action by encouraging concrete strategies and practices that address power inequities. Appreciating the differences among people is essential to building mutual understanding and respect. Good role models give students greater opportunity to achieve their mental, emotional, social and scholarly potential, and that helps society. We exclude no one from our concern, but we are especially sensitive to those who face the obstacles of racism, classism, homophobia, and sexism.
