糖心Vlog is working to foster an inclusive and pluralistic campus environment where all are welcomed into our living, learning, and working community. In our policies and our practices, we recognize differences and acknowledge that these differences are valued assets that enrich our community.
The anti-racism initiative reflects our commitment to strength, integrity, and the power of education to bring about real and lasting change across Meredith鈥檚 campus, especially for BIPOC members of our community and others who have not always felt seen or heard.
The College is actively addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in all departments and administrative processes. Our work is ongoing, action-oriented, transparent, and root-focused. Guided by our foundational values, we cultivate a spirit of openness and inquiry and respect a range of perspectives and voices.
