OUR JOURNEY FOR
ANTI-RACISM AND RACIAL EQUITY

Learning from the past. Acting in the present. Helping shape the future.

"We must ensure meaningful step after meaningful step that advances real and sustained change in addressing this deeply enduring challenge of anti-racism and racial equity. Every one of us must play a role. We will be, and should be, held accountable for ensuring actions are taken. If we do not, we will fail to fulfill our mission of access and success for all."
