The GSPP community is committed to providing a supportive learning environment that actively seeks and values diversity among its students, staff, and faculty.

This includes diversity in cultures, values, and experiences; diversity in perspectives including theoretical models, "ways of knowing" and associated scholarly paradigms; and diversity in ways of healing and engaging in professional practice. Faculty, staff, and students in the GSPP strive to uphold a collegial and supportive culture.
