The office plans and implements programs through the Haq Center to encourage a sense of inclusion and hospitality for all community members.</p> <hr> <h3><strong>Our Vision</strong></h3> <p>The Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Haq Center at Hanover College aspire to become multi-faceted, student-centered hubs in fostering student success. We envision a community that welcomes everyone and celebrates individual differences - where everyone feels safe, respected, valued, appreciated, and treated with equity and justice.</p> <p><img src="images/Hanover%20Unity%20Fest.png" alt="" width="500" height="332"></p> <hr> <h3 id="h-hanover-college-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-statement"><strong>Hanover College Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement</strong></h3> <p>The students, faculty, staff, and trustees of Hanover College are committed to providing a diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus so that all feel welcome to seek academic, personal, and moral growth within a community that is safe, challenging, and responsive. We embrace diversity in recruiting and retaining students, faculty, and staff of all backgrounds regardless of age, race, color, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, national origin, marital status, political viewpoint, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status. We recognize that our definition of diversity must be inclusive, porous in its boundaries, and ever-evolving, changing as our campus, our society, and our vision of the world change. It must also create a safe space for the discussion and debate of all kinds of well-reasoned, thoughtful, and constructive ideas. We strive to practice respect, compassion, and understanding for one another so that all may participate in the open and free exchange of ideas necessary for meaningful education and a successful democracy. </p> <hr> <h3>Equity and Diversity Plan </h3> <p><a href="https://www.hanover.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/A_Place_to_Belong-2021.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="images/Place%20to%20Belong.png" alt="" width="457" height="188"></a></p></div> </div> </section> </main> <footer class="template"> <div class="footer"> <div id="site_info"><a href="/" title="Office of Multicultural Affairs" class="site_name">© 2024 Office of Multicultural Affairs</a><a href="tel:8128667025" class="site_phone" title="Contact Phone Number" aria-label="Contact Phone Number">8128667025</a><a href="mailto:pope@hanover.edu" class="site_email" title="Contact Email Address" aria-label="Contact Email Address">pope@hanover.edu</a></div> <div id="site_social"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/HanoverStudentLife" class="facebook icon_facebook" target="_blank" title="Facebook"></a></div> </div> </footer> </body> </html>
