Students, faculty, and stakeholders of all ethnicities, genders, gender identities/expansion, faiths, ages, affectional orientations, ability statuses, socioeconomic backgrounds, cultures, regions, and nationalities are welcomed into and celebrated in the EOU CMHC program. We strive to have brave spaces* within our classrooms, mentoring, advising, and counseling sessions.We are actively anti-racist and promote social justice through intentional decolonization of the curriculum. Faculty and students are committed to teaching and upholding culturally sensitive, respectful, and inclusive practices from the classroom to the counseling room.
