SEAD Mission Statement
Students Educating and Advocating for Diversity (SEAD) is an organization of students, faculty, and staff whose mission is to promote awareness and internalize the meaning of diversity at The University of Kansas Medical Center. Diversity refers to the variety of experiences and perspectives that arise from differences in race, culture, religion, mental or physical abilities, heritage, age, gender, sexual orientation, and other characteristics. Respect, tolerance, and goodwill are the keystones to enjoying the rich diversity of our world.
The interplay of the diverse stimulates creativity and achievement in all facets of our existence. SEAD affirms that members of the campus community are valued for their individual qualities and members are encouraged to apply their unique talents in creative and collaborative work. SEAD recognizes, values, and affirms that social diversity contributes richness to the University community and enhances the quality of campus life for individuals of the community as a whole.
SEAD rejects acts of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, and religious or political beliefs.
