Statement of Commitment to Providing a Welcoming Environment for All

To benefit from those from different backgrounds on our campus, we must embrace the opportunity to learn from each other. Our commitment to providing a welcoming environment for all means treating all members of the UM community with dignity and embracing cross-cultural interactions even when they create discomfort.
