Leadership Commitment
Message from President
We are better when people from all backgrounds, intellectual approaches, and perspectives come together to both teach and learn. We are better when we ensure equity of access, opportunity, participation and representation for all. We are better when we challenge long-held assumptions, broaden our understanding, and recognize that differences can be strengths.
At 果冻传媒直播, our community鈥檚 commitment to diversity and inclusion is a source of great pride, hope and aspiration. It is a broad, deep and abiding responsibility, which reflects our shared belief that the current historical moment presents critical opportunities for societal progress.
The bedrock and foundation of our commitment is full support and participation of all faculty, staff, students, and administrators of every race, color, ethnicity, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, marital status, religion, sexual orientation, age, ability, veteran status, socioeconomic status, and political viewpoint.
This foundation of diversity, inclusion and mutual respect fosters unity and community. By understanding and respecting our differences, we strengthen our common bonds and shared humanity. We grow together and become, as our national motto encourages us to be, E pluribus unum 鈥 鈥淥ut of many, one.鈥
As President, I urge you to join this movement of empathy, caring, and unity. Each member of 果冻传媒直播 can lead us in expanding our understanding as we strive to be a diverse and inclusive community.
With appreciation for your efforts,
Elliot Hirshman
President
