College Houses & Academic Services
Statement on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

The College House community is committed to uplifting individuals and communities and challenging one another to understand and value what both binds and distinguishes us. We believe that our residential communities thrive when we consider, acknowledge, and honor our diversity. We ask that each community member (resident, staff, or visitor) commit to doing this through the following steps:

• Actively listen to perspectives different from your own
• Seek educational opportunities about issues and current events while embracing intellectual diversity, to avoid over-relying on populations from targeted communities to do the work for you
• Speak up when you witness or hear something unjust or exclusive, even when it is not convenient
• Engage with your community through joining organizations, attending programs, participating in service and/or activism
