OUR DIVERSITY COMMITMENT

Diversity is an intrinsic characteristic of our society and it results in a variety of values, personal experiences and worldviews that are cultivated through cultural and circumstantial differences, such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, language, abilities/disabilities, socioeconomic status, and national origin, among many others. At Academic Solutions we acknowledge these differences, we understand that they exist intersectionally in our students’ identities, and we recognize that their identities are as diverse as the communities, cities and countries in which they study abroad. This is why we have decided to embark on the long journey ahead toward inclusivity through systemic change.

We are committed to providing access, equity and inclusion to the diverse and underserved students that are not currently fully included in education abroad. We are working toward building a healthy climate in our programs so that all participants feel welcomed, supported, included and valued. In addition, we will empower, support and inspire the students to explore their identities in their new cultural contexts and to discover and connect with the diverse communities in their chosen destination. The road ahead in developing a framework for diversity and inclusion in our programs, processes and partnerships will be a long and sometimes unclear one. We invite you to join us along the way.
