ALTAS PROGRAM
ATLAS is a collaborative campus-wide series of programs that educates and celebrates students of different cultures and backgrounds while promoting acceptance, compassion, and understanding. ATLAS has 4 tenets of learning:
Identity: Create an environment that welcomes the celebrations of the rich diversity and contributions of our student body and the history and heritage of our predecessors.
Education: Promotes multicultural learning, cultural competency, and coalition building through educational opportunities that focus on internationalization as a core value and fostering and sustaining a supportive campus environment.
Exploration: Encourage and provide opportunities for students to explore their identity in relation to social inequity and social justice issues.
Community: Create equitable and collaborative partnerships with local businesses and non-profit organizations to better work together within and outside the university towards shared goals, fostering an open-minded campus environment.
