多样性、股票 & 包容

Agnes Scott College is an inclusive community that embraces the richness of its diversity and values the ways this enriches and transforms the lives of our students, 教职员工.

We acknowledge that simply having a diverse community does not always translate into an inclusive one and that students arrive to campus with different levels of exposure to and understanding of the diversity that is reflective of our world. 像这样, we provide curricular and co-curricular opportunities for all to cultivate 技能 needed to effectively engage, 沟通, and collaborate with others across differences. 通过研究, 生活, engaging with one another, and playing together, in-person and virtually, Agnes Scott College’s remarkably diverse student body hones the habits of mind, 技能, and knowledge essential to successfully lead everywhere and anywhere in our increasingly diverse society. The college’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is supported and practiced by every department. 

Here just are a few ways the college promotes diversity, equity and inclusion:

• Heritage/历史 Month Celebrations - At Agnes Scott College, we celebrate our rich campus diversity through our #Culture365, TRHT工作, and targeted events for heritage/history months, from September to May, featuring guest speakers, 系列讲座, film series and service opportunities. These celebrations include Latinx Heritage, 骄傲, 黑人历史, Disability Awareness, 女人的历史, and Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage.
• Martin Luther King Jr. And Coretta Scott King Commemorative Week Of Human Rights And Social Justice - A week-long series of 项目 and events commemorate the lives of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, and continues the dialogue around social justice and community change.
• Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT) - The college has created a new centralized TRHT anti-racism website to collate our efforts, 项目, action steps and resources. 作为THRT的校园, the college partners with local and community groups as well as the campus community in projects that advance transformational racial change, promote racial healing activities and erase structural barriers to equity and equal opportunity.
• A Safe Place to Be You - Agnes Scott's Safe Zone program seeks to promote both a physically and emotionally safe environment for LGBTQIA (lesbian, 同性恋, 双性恋, 变性人, 酷儿/质疑, 双性, and asexual) students, 教职员工. 通过教育, community resources and ally training, we will promote understanding to everyone on campus.
