A strong, vibrant community
Diversity matters. Differences of experience, culture, lifestyle help to create to a community where new ideas flourish and everyone feels safe, respected and included. The CVM is committed to a welcoming, inclusive environment for all students, faculty and staff. After all, we are strongest when we reflect the diversity in our larger communities.
To lead our diversity initiatives, we formed the Council for Inclusion, Diversity and Awareness (CIDA). This council of faculty, staff and students develops, monitors and evaluates the progress of the College’s strategic plan for diversity. CIDA’s responsibilities include coordination of activities that support and strengthen our College’s climate of inclusiveness and advising faculty, staff and students regarding issues of diversity.
