Signature Impact Areas
Our signature impact areas align with our college's strengths. They represent our major goals, and help to determine how we will align our resources to reach our vision.
Equity
Context
Transitions
Advancing Equity and Eliminating
Disparities in Education and Health
We work to ensure that systems, and the people within them, are accountable for inequities that impact the most vulnerable. We recognize and build upon the strengths of individuals, families, and communities to advance equitable outcomes in education and health across the lifespan. We develop, test, and implement programs and interventions that contest these inequities.
Attending to Place and Context
How and where people live matters. We respect the influence of home and community factors in the health and wellbeing of children and adults. We respond comprehensively to individual needs, and seek to understand and build on existing strengths within families and communities to improve education and health outcomes.
Thriving through Transitions
We work to understand how people adapt to transitions in life, whether expected or unexpected. We seek to support resiliency and healthy adjustment in the face of life’s transitions, including those related to changing social, economic, health, school, and community circumstances.
