Core Values - November - Inclusiveness

The Core Value of Inclusiveness is defined in our Strategic plan with the following characteristics:

  • Interacts appropriately with all members of the campus and community, without regard to individual characteristics.
  • Demonstrates a personal commitment to create a hospitable and welcoming environment.
  • Fosters respect for all individuals and points of view.
  • Treats all users and coworkers with respect;
  • Shows sensitivity;
  • Displays inclusive behavior;
  • Uses empathy;
  • Integrates new library staff members into the organization;
  • Encourages and utilizes different viewpoints;
  • Fosters an environment based on fairness and respect.
To help foster this value, we are asking staff to attend 3 out of the following 4 events during the month of November:
For each event you attend, put up a blog post on any reflections you have about the event and how it addresses inclusiveness.

    (Beth, I would happy to buy you a coffee, if that helps. I could even make a little coupon to go with the coffee.)
