Collage of 18 different people's faces

Together we are able to create new worlds, restore, and bridge our paths to allow everyone with a place to thrive.

Our guiding values
 

We provide an environment and climate that fosters safety and academic and professional success for the CVM community and stakeholders.

We actively seek to intentionally build a campus community that reflects the diversity of our society and positions that diversity to effect change.

We understand that our world is a diverse and complex place; our faculty, staff, and students need to demonstrate cultural competence to be effective as citizens and professionals serving a multicultural and global community.

We believe that positive innovation is most likely to occur when multiple perspectives are present to produce knowledge and offer high quality education. Excellence is inclusive.

CVM is well-regarded nationally and internationally for its innovative, high quality research and education; we are well-positioned to provide leadership on diversity, equity, and inclusion among our disciplinary, institutional, and professional peers.

We demonstrate that diversity, equity, and inclusion goals are an ongoing institutional priority through a regular process of refinement, assessment and accountability.

We are committed to diversity and inclusion
