3. College Diversity Statement
In pursuit of a fully inclusive community, the College of Design at the University of Minnesota is committed to supporting diverse people and perspectives. In order to create a more sustainable and equitable world, we seek to understand and meet the needs of all types of people to create culturally and socially responsive prototypes, projects, and environments. As such, we first look to foster such inquiry and responsiveness within our own College by welcoming, affirming, and empowering all students, faculty, and staff regardless of race/ethnicity, nationality, creed, color, body type, religion, political affiliation, gender identity, age, dis/ability, sexual orientation, and economic background. In addition, we welcome people who are innovative thinkers, people who are creative, and people who are willing to challenge the status quo. Through this commitment to diverse people and perspectives, we seek to increase diversity within our professions and advocate for true social change via our teaching, research, and outreach. Especially because of the professions we represent, we understand that change is oftentimes an iterative process that requires brainstorming, experimentation, prototyping, successes, and failures. With this understanding in mind, we recognize that we may not “get diversity right” the first time. Rather, we will continually engage the process and learn from each other along the way.
