Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Every member of VEPTSA has a role to play in diversity, equity and inclusion, and a contribution to make to ensure everyone in our community feels safe and welcomed. Our unique VEPTSA culture is the result of our behaviors, our personal commitment, how we collaborate, and how we courageously share our perspectives while encouraging others to do the same.

We are a diverse community, composed of unique individuals, and we celebrate how our diversity allows us to grow stronger. Our inclusive culture empowers us to belong, connect, and grow. We draw on these differences, these experiences, and use them to help support our students and community.
