How we build and support a vibrant intellectual community
At SESP, we welcome everyone. We work to foster a deep sense of belonging, in part by listening to ideas and beliefs from a wide variety of perspectives. As a school of learning, leadership, and policy, we value dialogue, respect, and fairness in all our interactions.
We support people, programs, and partnerships that bring different perspectives together.
We embrace multiple ways of knowing and being to enrich our collective endeavors, build knowledge, and spark positive change.
We create purposeful lessons, research, and community activities to achieve these goals.
Through learning, teaching, teamwork, and personal connections, we help build a community that builds on backgrounds and experiences.
