InclusiveVT
We affirm the inherent dignity of every person.
AAEC expects faculty, staff, and students to take individual and collective responsibility for reflecting the value of Ut Prosim (That I May Serve). Every member contributes to the success of the department and Virginia Tech.
AAEC faculty, staff, and students should abide by the Virginia Tech Principles of Community, Faculty/Staff Handbook, and Student Code of Conduct. Additional resources for faculty, staff, and students may be found at InclusiveVT.
We work to:
- Promote an environment that acknowledges and celebrates everyone
- Promote respect for all members of our community
We do this by:
- Empowering the AAEC InclusiveVT Committee to lead initiatives that address the above-mentioned efforts
- Employing practices that ensure accessible and safe classrooms, shared department spaces, and departmental events
- Organizing activities that strengthen our community through shared learning, relationship development, collegiality, and communication.
