Diversity Statement

Student Health Center (SHC) staff members are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and affirming environment for all students, conducive to the exploration of personal, social, emotional, and academic concerns.

We value diversity and inclusion as guiding principles in our services, training, outreach, and staffing. 

As a professional agency, we take active steps to be culturally self-aware, knowledgeable, and skillful, and embrace this learning as a lifelong process. The SHC’s commitment to GW students and the campus community is built upon our values as a multicultural agency that affirms the similarities and differences of our community members. We strive towards promoting social justice for all persons and a supportive campus climate for all our members. By adhering to this vision, our goal is to contribute to a shared environment where cultural empathy and self-awareness inform health care, consultative services, and educational support for the GW community at large.
