SOS Graduate Advising DEI Statement
The Graduate Student Services team in the School of Sustainability aligns its justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion work with Arizona State University’s charter. Supporting students requires that individual and collective identities are recognized and empowered. Toward this effort, we commit to a culture of critical learning and unlearning. Our work is rooted in efforts to engage and address systemic and institutional forms of oppression. We make the following commitments to advance justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in our School as we support applicants, students, and alumni in achieving their personal, professional, and academic potential.
Toward equity:
Acknowledge and challenge our personal biases and the existing systemic inequities in US higher education.
Work to remove barriers, apply policies justly, and encourage students to advocate for themselves and others.
Toward diversity:
Listen to and elevate diverse voices within our school and college.
Promote holistic evaluation of graduate applicants to ensure diversity in academic, professional, and cultural backgrounds within cohorts.
Toward inclusion:
Provide services informed by the individual, intersecting identities of students and the knowledge that there is no universal student experience.
Foster a community in which all students belong and feel that their individual needs and perspectives are valued.
Toward justice:
Help students build meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships with advisors and other community members.
Toward learning and improvement:
Pursue personal and professional growth toward justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Revisit our values and commitments to assess progress in light of a changing world.
DEI work is relational and ongoing, and we welcome further engagement with our commitments. Please feel free to contact Lindsey Plait Jones, Assistant Director of Graduate Academic Services, at LPJ@asu.edu.
