ľ¹Ï´«Ã½

Paul Smith’s ľ¹Ï´«Ã½, like a diverse forest, thrives in perfect balance when all feel represented and valued.

Community creates a welcoming, respectful, and equitable environment by celebrating the diverse characteristics of each person here at Paul Smith’s ľ¹Ï´«Ã½. We foster positive social cohesion by recognizing and valuing the unique perspectives individuals bring, including differences in race, color, national origin, shared ancestry, religion, sex, disability status, age, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Like the natural ecosystems we call home, the Paul Smith’s ľ¹Ï´«Ã½ community changes and grows over time.

Belonging comes from the core principle that every individual has innate value stemming from their unique worldview, lived experience, beliefs, identity, and personhood. It’s the safety and reassurance of knowing that you, in being your most authentic self, are a valued member of a community, place, group, organization, or college.

We would like to acknowledge that ľ¹Ï´«Ã½ is located on the homeland of the Haudenosaunee (ho-dee-no-SHOW-nee) and other indigenous peoples. This area is a home, workplace, and/or classroom for all of us, and it is therefore important that we know its history and acknowledge the long ancestral heritage that is based here. We respect and honor the legacy of the original peoples of this land and recognize their continued contributions to the region.
