Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at GMercyU

Statement on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)

Gwynedd Mercy University’s core values of integrity in word and deed, 尊重所有人的尊严, service to society, 以及多元化世界的社会正义, place inclusive excellence at the center of our daily work and relationships as a Catholic, Mercy university. Inclusive excellence recognizes that to advance our mission successfully, we must value, engage, 并包括我们社区所有成员的丰富多样性.

为了忠实地履行这一承诺, 我们必须首先承认，我们如何不断受到整个社会系统性不平等的集体历史的影响, 尽管我们致力于包容. 我们必须从失败中吸取教训，在成功的基础上再接再厉，努力建立一个以仁慈为根基、更具包容性的机构.

To achieve this, our community must meaningfully internalize this work of transformation; it will require all to engage in collaborative implementation that strategically integrates inclusion and radical mercy into the curriculum, co-curriculum, administrative structures, practices, decision-making, and culture.
