Where I belong, Where you belong, Where we belong
Recognizing that community and belonging are made possible with continuous improvement and accountability, we are committed to specific actions that: foster belonging for our faculty, staff and students and embrace everyone, inclusive of all backgrounds. We are committed to promoting a positive, inclusive climate where everyone belongs.
Over the past year, the School has taken many actions to support a sense of community and belonging.
One of those actions has been the formation of the Community Council to address one of the five major goals of the school’s updated Strategic Plan to: promote a vibrant and inclusive community of faculty, staff and students to advance the school’s mission in an engaged and respectful community.
The Community Council, which met for the first time in August of 2020, is composed of faculty, staff and students to promote the Principles of Community, improve human welfare, and enhance belonging and engagement. They will accomplish this by developing community-building activities and programs; encouraging dialogue and communication across all groups; identifying resources to educate the school community on issues such as advancing solutions for work-life integration; mental health and wellness; and belonging, community engagement and inclusion.
