Penn State Behrend is committed to the equitable treatment of all individuals and to providing an inclusive campus environment for students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors.
We believe that diversity has a critical role in higher education and that a college campus should provide a unique intellectual environment for individuals with different experiences, backgrounds, and values to interact with one another. Only through the open exchange of different beliefs, experiences, and values can individuals develop the important critical thinking skills that will serve them throughout their life. This type of education allows students and faculty to create and share knowledge in a safe, accepting, and nurturing environment, resulting in a richer education for all.
