DIVERSITY STATEMENT

We at Goucher College are dedicated to social justice, diversity, and multiculturalism as fundamental components of our mission and ethos. We champion an inclusive community, embrace and respect different perspectives, and value diversity in all its forms and intersections, including ability, age, culture, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, nationality, race, religious and spiritual belief, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. Understanding that power, privilege, and other forces of inequality play a role in shaping our individual and collective experiences and identities, we are committed to productive dialogue and meaningful action in addressing our differences. We approach this ongoing work with courage, integrity, care, and respect.

Equity & Identity 

All students wonder how they'll fit in at college. Will I be the only student from my background? Will anyone understand where I'm coming from? Will my culture be represented in courses and campus activities? Whom will I turn to for support?

On this site, we've gathered information and resources that should help you get an idea of Goucher's commitment to diversity and help you answer questions such as these.

At Goucher, we affirm and support the identities of all our students.
