Future State

• Host academic and professional development programming within the SON community to create relationships that break down exclusionary barriers to promote an inclusive and accessible environment.

Achieve an increasingly inclusive environment evidenced by improved climate survey results, improved student experience survey results, and indicators on regular SON-conducted climate assessments/pulse checks.
