Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Achieving student, staff, and faculty diversity is essential to achieving our educational mission, remains a personal goal, and is central to the work of HLPM. Diversity in perspective, identity and experience enriches the human and academic experience for us all. In HLPM, we are always looking for new ways to attract, recruit, and retain a talented, diverse community, the situation where learning and the advancement of knowledge best thrives. HLPM is strongest when people learn and create together in an environment in which they are fully supported and respected. The school’s 10-point plan to promote DEIJ in all we do points our way forward toward equity and inclusiveness.
