The Alumni Association values all members of the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Alumni Family – regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, religion, age, or social and economic status – and is enriched by this diverse community. On March 30, 2017, the Alumni Association Board of Directors unanimously approved a resolution to reaffirm these values and reinforce our commitment to inclusiveness and equality.
