Mission Statement

Building on the efforts of the Diversity Task Force, the Diversity Committee seeks to foster and to model a campus environment that is welcoming, safe, and inclusive to all of our administrators, faculty, staff, and students. We view differences in nationality, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, and able-bodiedness not as obstacles to be overcome but as rich opportunities for understanding, learning, and growth. In that light, we make the following ongoing commitments:

• to continue raising our own and others' consciousness through formal and informal training and development

• to monitor and assess interpersonal and institutional practices at Rollins that invite and/or suppress inclusiveness, and

• to serve as active agents of social and political change, at Rollins and beyond.
