What DEIB Means to Us

Diversity - The presence of different and multiple characteristics that make up individual and collective identities, including race, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, socioeconomic status, language, and physical ability.

Equity - The process of identifying and removing the barriers that create disparities in the access to resources and means, and the achievement of fair treatment and equal opportunities to thrive.

Inclusion - Creating environments in which any individual or group can be and feel welcomed, respected, supported, and valued to participate fully. 

Belonging - A sense of being secure, recognized, affirmed, and accepted equally such that full participation is possible
