The climate we stand by embraces, honors and leverages the uniqueness and value of people’s differences. Our vision is for all members of the College to be respected, feel a sense of belonging, and have equitable access to opportunities for achieving their fullest potential at Carolina. We strive for staff, faculty and students to both benefit from and take ownership in cultivating such a community.
