Campus Diversity & Inclusion
At Union College, we strive to enhance our vibrant learning and working community that promotes *diversity, equity, inclusion and a sense of belonging both inside and outside the classroom. Leading with wisdom, empathy and courage, we share the responsibility of creating a welcoming environment where each and every person at Union is respected and valued.
We recognize that building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable community is a continual process requiring an examination of our own perspectives and a willingness to explore wide-ranging perspectives. We challenge each member of the campus and broader community to contribute to an honest, critical, open and sustained engagement with our institutional history and current practices, as we prepare for multiple tomorrows.
- We recognize the opportunities before us, as a community committed to the pursuit of wisdom, extending our knowledge and awareness of others.
- We approach divergent ideas, personal and cultural differences with empathy and actively work to understand and respect others’ experiences and perspectives.
- We act with the courage to do what one believes to be right and important not just popular and easy. We recognize the growth opportunity that comes with becoming comfortable being uncomfortable.
