Coh Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Justice committee
The College of Health Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice (DEIJ) Committee was established to address systemic barriers, promote social justice, and create a culture of inclusivity that supports the success of all students, staff, and faculty of the college. Through shared values of respect, accountability, and cultural humility, as well as our commitment to DEIJ initiatives, we strive to create greater cohesion across our college to deliver and promote the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
We acknowledge and honor the ancestral lands of the Dena'ina, Ahtna, Alutiiq/Sugpiaq, and Eyak/dAXunhyuu Peoples on which the UAA College of Health campus resides in Southcentral 熊猫在线视频. We recognize the importance of DEIJ principles, both in our community and in the ways in which we approach health and well-being. We commit to working in partnership with Indigenous communities to promote health equity and cultural humility, and to recognize the unique knowledge and contributions of Indigenous Peoples to health and holistic healing.
