Diversity Statement
University Counseling Services is committed to promoting inclusion and the affirmation of diversity in its broadest sense. We strive to provide respectful treatment to people of every background who work, train, and use University Counseling Services. Our staff places a high value on the dignity and worth of individuals and embrace the richness brought by the intersections of individual gender expression and identity, nationality, ethnicity, race, sexual/affectional orientation, age, physical and mental abilities, spirituality, socioeconomic status, physical attributes, as well as other personal and social characteristics that comprise individual identity. We are committed to the social value of equity and believe that everyone deserves equal economic, political, and social rights and opportunities.
