Diversity Statement
As a program within the School of Education and Human Development, the Mental Health Counseling program endorses the School’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a program, we believe that our collective strength is harnessed through embracing a broad spectrum of backgrounds, experiences, skills, and personal identities among our faculty, students, supervisors, and clients, and this diversity is fundamental to our identity and principles.
We have adopted the ongoing mission to foster a welcoming environment that ensures each person is respected, listened to, and cherished. Our dedication to standing as a paragon of both excellence and empathy sets a standard we hope to instill in others.
Our promise is to honor diversity, nurture a sense of community belonging, and be a force for positive change in service to the communities we engage with and beyond.
