The GSE is committed to fostering the principles of equity, diversity, justice, and inclusion through an engaged community of scholars who prioritize research, teaching, and community action that address educational, economic, social, and health disparities. CSEP is an interdisciplinary and collaborative department operating within a community-based, scientist-practitioner methodology.

Faculty demonstrate a commitment to creating a collegial academic environment characterized by equity, social justice, interdisciplinary collaboration and by ensuring that the research and practice mission of GSE contributes to local schools, agencies, and neighborhoods.
