We at the ETSU Counseling Center view diversity as including all of the various identities and characteristics that make us unique individuals. We recognize and work to weaken/stop the impact of stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination, oppression, power and privilege in spaces we occupy. Our commitment to our campus community is to embrace and celebrate diversity in all its richness and to provide a safe space that is both welcoming and affirming as an important piece of providing culturally competent services.
