| Commitment of School’s leadership to enhance diversity, inclusion and civility in the School |
WE, THE SCHOOL'S LEADERSHIP, ARE COMMITTED TO ENSURING that the School is a diverse, inclusive,
civil and welcoming community. Diversity and inclusion are central to our mission -- to improve public health, promote individual well-being, and
eliminate health disparities across North Carolina and around the world.
Diversity and inclusion are assets that contribute to our strength,
excellence and individual and institutional success. We welcome, value
and learn from individual differences and perspectives. These include
but are not limited to: cultural and racial/ethnic background, country
of origin, gender, age, socioeconomic status, physical and learning
abilities, physical appearance, religion, political perspective, sexual
identity, and veteran status. Diversity, inclusiveness and civility are
core values we hold as well as characteristics of the School that we
intend to strengthen.
We are committed to expanding diversity and inclusiveness across the
School -- among faculty, staff, students, on advisory groups, and in our
curricula, leadership, policies and practices. We measure diversity and
inclusion not only in numbers, but also by the extent to which students,
alumni, faculty and staff members perceive the School's environment as
welcoming, valuing all individuals and supporting their development.
