NEPDEC’s goals are to create a more inclusive, dynamic culture in our region and to effectively prepare students and employees of our region for the increasingly complex and diverse communities and workplaces of the next century. To achieve these goals, we will:
- Infuse curricula of member institutions with diversity education initiatives
- Educate students and staff for multicultural competence
- Enhance resources and opportunities for faculty and curriculum development in diversity awareness
- Develop campus activities which enhance multicultural understanding
- Build alliances between institutions historically isolated from one another such as community service, and social justice groups, public school systems, the business community, colleges and universities, and minority populations
Through cooperation and shared resources, we can more effectively address regional diversity issues with greater impact, in a shorter amount of time, and with fewer resources.
