Mission statement
The Department of Geography believes that multiple dimensions of diversity in students, staff, and faculty are foundational to student and faculty success and to the research, teaching, and service undertaken in and by our department. We support diversity, accessibility, inclusion, and equity through collaborations with campus, community, academic, and professional partners to establish an environment that promotes the success of all.
The Department of Geography strives to create an environment for equitable, accessible, and inclusive academic, research, and teaching practices, in which everyone is esteemed and respected. Our students, staff, and faculty value fairness, diversity, and inclusion to promote the progress of research, teaching, learning, and outreach that positively impacts local and global communities. We are invested in cultivating a culture that encourages collaboration, flexibility, and fairness to enable individuals to contribute to their full potential and further retention.
