Diversity Statement

Everyone can learn and deserves a safe space in which to explore their dreams and opportunities. I am committed to creating and nurturing spaces in which all feel welcome and empowered. I served on the Cornish Inclusivity and Diversity committee in order to help the college fulfill our mission statement:

The Inclusion and Diversity Committee ensures that the college provides an inclusive culture where all in the Cornish community can work, teach, and learn in a supportive environment. The committee realizes this mission by:
  1. Promoting greater empathy and awareness in the college through inclusive learning and teaching practices
  2. Influencing College policy
  3. Fostering courageous dialog
  4. Hosting, promoting, or contributing to events that add to our mission statement

I personally have taken steps to bring this mission to life through activities including curating an exhibition on Japanese internment camps with the help of the Wing Luke Museum in support of our Cornish First Reads book Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. I also participated in the online workshop Cultural Competence for the Academic Librarian as well as attended the Storytelling Strategies for Dismantling Racism training and am active in my college's Faculty Interest Group Race & Pedagogy. I believe that everyone has the right to a happy and healthy life and I strive to support this in the library, in the classroom and in my everyday life.
