Title One

We must achieve and maintain a diverse community of faculty, students, and staff across all identities and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Title Two

Building on the first foundation, we must ensure that students of all identities and backgrounds feel welcomed and represented in the classroom, that modes of pedagogy promote learning for students from all backgrounds and of all identities, and that all students have the ability to be equally successful in pursuing their educational goals.

Title Three

Connection of the Local and Global

We must prepare members of our community to be engaged citizens both locally and globally. We will do more to recognize and develop our connections to St. Louis and across the world in ways that build relationships and advance learning. We can further our collaborations with St. Louis through community-engaged teaching and scholarship that seeks to understand and meet the needs of the city and region. We also wish to nourish global citizens who can link their experience on a local level to global currents and convergences.
