Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement
We want to formally and with great respect acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands of the Yokuts Nation. Our campus, Stanislaus State, is built on the unceded ancestral lands of these indigenous tribes. Thank you for letting us honor them and give our thanks to their ancestors and descendants for their constant and careful stewardship of this land.
In Creative Media, diversity, inclusion, and equity are central to our mission. Creative Media as a discipline fosters the intersection between creativity, criticality and expression while acknowledging the diverse intersectional identities that make up the cultures in which we live.
We are proud to be designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and we serve many first generation students. We are diligent in recognizing that cultural and discriminatory bias has been historically and systematically ingrained in the fabric of society and its cultural and educational institutions, including our own. It is with this understanding that we strive for equitable inclusion for everyone. We endeavor to foster a respectful and safe environment for all students, staff, and faculty, regardless but not limited to, race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, color, age, gender, gender identity and expression, trans and nonbinary identities, dis/ability, citizenship, caste, tribe, underrepresented groups, marital status, socioeconomic status, language, national origin, political belief, veteran status, immigration status, and religion. We stand in solidarity with and support marginalized communities. We recognize that all members of our community - students, staff, and faculty - experience different advantages and disadvantages, and that many endure barriers and systemic inequalities that are often unseen.
