Expect Respect is a unique partnership among students, faculty, and staff hoping to unite our community. It is an educational initiative that includes annual proactive programming aimed at supporting a campus climate in which all persons are treated with respect.
Campus social climate is what determines how comfortable our campus feels. A good campus climate is safe and inclusive, which allows everyone the chance to succeed academically and socially. Having a good campus climate can shape our large school into a community because a positive climate has a sense of belonging, a sense of home. It respects and honors diversity - your identity in relation to the world around you. It is the whole community of students, staff, and instructors. Bias and hate are not welcome.
