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. We strive to empower those individuals and groups who face obstacles to overcome their social, economic, and political vulnerabilities.
Quality of life depends on the continued addition of new perspectives, new beliefs, and new wisdom.
