Ensure An Inclusive and Supportive Campus Environment

Ensuring an inclusive and supportive campus environment for students, faculty, and staff is a top priority at Elmira college.

That's why we are focused on providing access to and increasing awareness of resources for the recruitment of diverse faculty, staff, and students.

We will look to enhance access to college beyond the traditional college-bound populations through the development of partnerships and financial aid policies that provide opportunity to these student populations. 

As mental health concerns continue to rise nationally, this focus area seeks to support the mental and physical wellbeing of our students and employees by increasing on-campus access to recreational activities, mental health services and programs, and ensuring a safe physical and virtual campus environment.
