Our Mission Statement
In order to achieve harmonious inclusiveness, equality and acceptance of differences that are essential for a productive and respectful learning environment, the members actively promote dialogues across differences, greater representation of historically underrepresented groups on campus, and the development of global citizenship. As part of our mission we plan to focus on the following objectives:
- Actively participate in the annual New Faculty Orientation.
- Offer opportunities to assist with job searches for faculty hires.
- Explore ways to diversify the pool of candidates.
- Offer to meet with candidates during campus interviews to discuss issues related to diversity at Union.
- Create linkages to different academic areas which include the Committee on Teaching (COT) and our interdisciplinary studies.
- Create a program for regular discussions of issues of diversity on college campuses.
- Create a diverse and welcoming climate for the entire Union College Campus Community.
