ADEI Statement
The Academic Advising and Student Achievement Center supports student success by integrating access, diversity, equity, and inclusion in all areas of our work.
- We are committed to advancing a climate of equity and mutual respect, with particular attention to the needs of all marginalized and under-represented groups of people.
- We are aware of and value interconnecting identities that involve all aspects of difference, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, educational background, language, culture, national origin, religion/spirituality, age, ability, military/veteran status, and political perspective.
- We are situated on the ancestral homelands of the Coast Salish Peoples and the experiences of Indigenous students, staff, faculty, and community members are central to the environment we envision.
Our office strives to be a space where all ways of being are respected.
