In Administration and Finance, we identify ourselves through a range of biological, emotional, spiritual, socioeconomic, and personality traits. We come from different places, have singular backgrounds, and identify in ways that are as unique as we are. We have lived experiences that are exclusive to who we are.

VARIETY | A rich blend of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that encompass factors such as race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, age, language, socioeconomic status, abilities, and professional roles.

FAIRNESS | The goal of efforts to correct historical and systemic disadvantages, ensuring that personal characteristics and social identities no longer determine outcomes.

BELONGING | Cultivating a space where everyone can succeed while feeling appreciated and respected for their individuality and unique contributions.

SUCCESS | Achieving an environment where all individuals have the opportunity to contribute, grow, and excel, with outcomes driven by talent, effort, and collaboration rather than personal background or circumstances.

This tapestry of diversity shapes who we are, how we interact with our surroundings, and how we experience the world. It defines who we are and how we interact with our world.

As Administration and Finance community members, we are encouraged to demonstrate our commitment to our Guiding Principles: WISER.

W – Well-Being and Sustainability
I – Innovation and Discovery
S – Service Excellence and Accountability
E – Equity and Inclusion
R – Respect and Integrity

We center the values of respect and tolerance, and we encourage one another to choose empathy and kindness, reject hate, and honor the rights, differences, and dignity of others.

When we work and treat each other based on our Guiding Principles, we are WISER Together.
