STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY

Morningside University affirms the dignity of every human being and celebrates the diversity within and around our community as it prepares students for ethical leadership and civic responsibility. The complex identities of Morningside community members are valuable for their own sake and all the ways they enrich the Morningside experience. Identity includes but is not limited to, ability, age, experience, ethnicity, gender, immigration status, language, nationality, political view, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and spirituality.

Morningside University commits to confronting past injustices, acting on current priorities, and adapting to an ever-changing future to create an inclusive environment. Nurturing a sense of belonging allows all individuals to thrive through a connection to one another. By seeking out, listening to, and learning from diverse perspectives, the institution takes and assesses deliberate actions to foster a just community that represents Siouxland and the world.
