Diversity Statement

The SUNY Oneonta Counseling Center is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for everyone who uses our services. We believe diversity enlivens, challenges, and ultimately enriches our community. From our differences we also draw unique strengths to confront and solve problems.

The range of diversity we value includes but is not limited to: ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, gender and gender identity, physical or mental ability, socio-economic status, spirituality or religion, size, appearance, and age. We are committed to working against discrimination and oppression, and we extend a particular welcome to students who may be experiencing discrimination on the basis of their differences.

We strive to treat all students with equal respect and dignity. We are also committed to taking part in activities and discussions that will help us continue to grow in our understanding of diversity.
