All Student Counseling Services staff are committed to respecting, affirming, and celebrating the diversity of all individuals. Therefore, discrimination in any form is inconsistent with our mission and our values. This includes discrimination in the areas of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, physical and mental abilities, age, social economic status, and religious beliefs.
