Charge for Diversity Committee

Emerson’s Diversity Committee seeks to ensure that Emerson School provides a sanctuary in which all students, faculty, and administrators are safe, respected, and valued.  Emerson School strives to create a diverse learning environment that will best prepare students to thrive in a global, multicultural and interconnected society.  According to ISACS definitions, diversity reflects “quantifiable differences embodied in age, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and family status,” while multiculturalism is “a quality of life characterized by acceptance and inclusion, and is manifested in the school’s climate, curriculum, and shared common values.”
