​By Chancellor Bernie Patterson

Each August, we welcome new and returning students to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point campus. More than ever this fall, we want our students, faculty and staff to know they are welcome here.

Recent events across the country and even on our own campus move me to emphasize the importance of a diverse community at UW-Stevens Point. Ethnic, racial and religious diversity, as well as varying political viewpoints, enhance the learning in and out of the classroom. This goes beyond enriching campus life to recognizing diverse perspectives are needed to thrive in our global society.

We talk of an inclusive environment on campus. This means everyone is welcome, respected and has a contribution to our university community. Everyone has the right to feel safe and valued. Everyone has the opportunity to live, study and work in an environment that helps them succeed.
