Affirmative Action Statement

Edgewood College respects the dignity and gifts of each person. We strive to create environments in which the value of diversity is understood, practiced, and embraced by our faculty, staff, and students. Diversity encompasses race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, and veteran status. In order to foster diversity, we commit ourselves not only to Equal Employment Opportunity, but also to Affirmative Action through special efforts to search for qualified faculty, staff, and students from diverse backgrounds. We believe that taking affirmative action will advance our goal of social and economic justice for all people. It will empower those of diverse heritages and backgrounds to share their unique contributions and, thus, further the mission of Edgewood College.
