Belonging Statement
In the Department of Educational Psychology, we are committed to fostering a community where all individuals are treated fairly and welcomed with respect, care, and dignity. We believe that each individual’s success is rooted in a strong sense of belonging within a supportive environment that nurtures personal, academic, and professional growth.
We value access and opportunity for all, and we actively work to create a climate that is respectful, welcoming, and affirming for every student, faculty, and staff member. We embrace and celebrate differences in identity, experience, and perspective, and strive to forge meaningful relationships across backgrounds. We also encourage rigorous and respectful dialogue as a foundation for academic inquiry. As a department, we seek to train our students to do work in their communities that supports the development and flourishing of all individuals.
Together, we aim to build a departmental culture where everyone is seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
