The College of Arts and Letters is committed to providing access to inclusive learning experiences for its students. Our overarching goal is developing culture change to foster lasting and authentic change, rather than ending with compliance. Our approach is appealing to the community to take an active role in adopting inclusive practices and supporting faculty and staff making meaningful changes over time.
