MERLOT and SKillscommons logos

We believe Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) purposefully create a sense of belonging and promote genuine appreciation, acceptance, and identity for others regardless of age, cultural background, geography, physical ability, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientations. The practice of DEI methodologies allows individuals to bring their authentic selves to the environment.

  • We respect and celebrate the diversity within humanity across its identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, cultures, and beliefs.
  • We are driven to achieve equity in the educational, economic, and social outcomes for diverse communities and individuals.
  • We are committed to consistent, systematic, fair, and just participation of all individuals, recognizing, appreciating, and including the talents and skills of all.
