Empowering passion. Cultivating leadership. Leaving legacy.

LSC-University Park's Anti-Discrimination/Anti-Racism Statement
LSC-UP is committed to eliminating all forms of racism and discrimination by modeling inclusive learning and work environments for students and employees. LSC-UP dismantles barriers for the underrepresented student and commits to ongoing self-examination of our teaching, learning, and operations. By honoring the experiences and cultural capital that each person brings, we strive to create opportunities for all to succeed. We embrace diversity because it enriches everyone’s experience; we advance equity because it is necessary for democracy; we cultivate inclusion because together we achieve greater goals.
As our community’s college, we move beyond equity in access to achieve equity in outcomes. If you experience or witness discrimination, we welcome your communication.
