¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ

We, the members of the English Department, strive for deep engagement with the scholarly and creative work of our colleagues and ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈs.

We aspire to create the best possible educational environment for all our ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈs.

We aim to recognize one another’s expertise across programs and disciplines. We seek to cultivate an environment in which we can trust one another.

We value and seek fairness and equity. We strive to share labor in ethical ways.

We value transformative diversity and strive to practice inclusivity in hiring, curriculum, programming, ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ recruitment and retention, resource distribution, and ongoing support. 

We strive to identify and achieve common goals and to reconcile differences internally. We believe that collaborative decision-making requires diligent effort to understand histories, perspectives, and contexts and to discuss and address them with one another.

We aspire to practice critical self-reflection in order to be challenged, engaged, creative, collaborative, and open to different ways of teaching, learning, and communicating.
