Diversity and inclusion: A top priority 

MCHHS wants to foster a supportive environment for all students, at every stage of their education.

September 17, 2020 by Web Strategy and Development

At Missouri State University, our three-pillared Public Affairs Mission drives everything we do.  

Ethical leadership. Cultural competence. Community engagement. These are the foundations for each program, event, lesson, discussion and initiative at the university. 

Recently, the need for cultural competence has come to center stage, and we know there is always work to be done to be a more inclusive and supportive institution. 

In the McQueary College of Health and Human Services, we developed a comprehensive list of initiatives to ensure we are doing whatever we can to provide supportive and inclusive instruction within the college.  

MCHHS Initiatives 

  • Host MCHHS Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Speaker Series. 
  • Mandate Faculty Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council representation at every MCHHS leadership meeting. 
  • Establish a Student Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council.
