Women Students - VA2839

Mission

Provides the structure to support the Library's pursuit of excellence through diversity, equity, and inclusion. Through this work, we create an inclusive culture of mutual respect for all faculty, staff, and users that welcomes and values diverse backgrounds and perspectives to ensure all are treated in a manner consistent with the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct.

Vision

Building a space of inclusion where all voices are heard, all minds are cultivated, and all talent is empowered.

Strategy Statement


To guide its work the Library Engagement and Inclusion Council identified three strategic themes: Representation, Access, and Assessment. Our policies, collections, spaces, programs, and culture are a Representation and reflection of our focus on our faculty, staff, and students, and other stakeholders. We will always strive to ensure that Access reflects our commitment, and that resources are available to help navigate questions of diversity, equity and inclusion. Additionally, we commit that our public areas and workspaces are ADA compliant. Lastly, we will conduct routine Assessment to evaluate our progress and use data driven decisions to make adjustments as needed.
