Vision Statement
Hastings College is committed to diversity, inclusion, and equity on our campus, where all members of our community can reach their full potential. All humans deserve dignity and have inherent value. We work to foster an environment where all members are embraced, empowered, and engaged. We actively combat attitudes, behaviors, and systems that work against this goal. Through actions, policies, and culture designed to celebrate diversity and create inclusion, Hastings College is able to serve its past, present, and future students, employees, and other stakeholders.
