The overarching goal for the Beyond Boundary strategic plan's theme 'Culture of Inclusion' is to "foster a diverse teaching and learning environment and culture that values, respects, welcomes, and promotes a sense of belonging for members of our campus and our community.
Some of the outlined tactics to meet that goal are:
-Engage underrepresented student populations in disciplines with historically lower participation rates through pedagogies such as high-impact education experiences.
-Conduct an annual assessment of our human resources across all academic and nonacademic programs and units
-Map diversity across the curriculum to identify areas of strength and areas for improvement.
