Academy Vision

Our community will reflect the world in its makeup, while setting and achieving a new standard for respect of, opportunity for, and inclusion of every member of that community.

Building a Foundation for Change

In its initial years, the Academy will prioritize three key objectives to establish a foundation for institutional climate and culture change:

Support

We will support existing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

Align

We will work to align diversity, equity, and inclusion resources and communications.

Institutionalize

We will establish the Academy institutionally, as well as in the broader St. Louis community.
