The Graduate School at Hood College affirms that all student professionals, regardless of background or demographic, belong here. We believe that education has the power to improve lives. Thus, the Graduate School is committed to developing high-quality educational opportunities for all students, especially students from other marginalized and/or historically underserved communities. As a team, we are committed to a sense of community for all people. To that end, we are taking action by:
- Improving our projected culture and practices in recruiting, welcoming and serving all populations of graduate students. This requires reviewing our services, resources and leadership opportunities.
- Supporting the College's mission through education of faculty, staff and students, such as cultural sensitivity trainings and mental-health listening sessions, in addition to recruiting outside speakers with expertise in these areas.
- Evaluating our internal culture and practices to ensure we are doing all we can to be a more welcoming workplace.
Most importantly, the Graduate School stands with the Hood College community and is committed to engaging with our campus and local communities in tough conversations about inequalities and develop effective solutions. We choose to be part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. We welcome your ideas for improvement—share them with us.
