INCLUSION
The Graduate School of Education and Human Development (GSEHD) strives to be an inclusive community of scholars and citizens who serve diverse populations by engaging individual, group, and social differences in pursuit of equity, accessibility, and excellence for all. As educators, counselors, and leaders it is our passion for inclusivity that guides and fuels our commitment to making a difference in the lives of those we serve. We value everyone in our community and maintain our commitment to enhance the research, practice, and policy of counseling, education, and human & organizational development for all participants, at all levels, and wherever they may be.
