多样性、公平和包容

“我们永远不能说，这就够了..."
——凯瑟琳·麦考利，仁慈修女会创始人

植根于天主教社会思想

两年前, Mercy的管理形成了多元化, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) faculty and staff committee as well as work teams. It is committed to a school culture that stimulates diversity of thought, 支持机会公平, and creates a learning environment where 可怜的学生 and their families, 还有教职员工, staff, and community partners feel a strong sense of belonging and safety. Twenty faculty and staff meet regularly to ensure that the faculty teaches with equity in mind and encourages 可怜的学生 to create a positive and inclusive environment.

神的使命宣言

Our mission is to raise awareness of and promote the necessary values of 多样性、公平和包容 that are rooted in Catholic Social Thought through continued collaboration and dialogue with our Mercy Burlingame community and partnerships. 在这个成长和转变的旅程中, we seek to discover how we can better support our students, teachers, staff, and parents in our sustained commitment to uphold a diverse, 公平包容的澳门威尼斯人app 和谐中的仁慈.

致力于增长

Affirmed by our shared commitment to the Critical Concerns of the Sisters of Mercy, we are grounded in asking ourselves and our larger Mercy community to:

1. 进入辨别的过程, personally examining one’s own biases and acknowledging one’s own privileges;

2. Reflectively confront and address that which is discovered through self-interrogation; and

3. Create opportunities to enhance our school’s culture to reflect the values of 多样性、公平和包容 at every level.

This can be seen through our work this semester engaging faculty and staff in anti-racism trainings led by Be the Change Consulting, holding a DEI evening for alumnae to listen for areas of growth, 创建一个教职工读书俱乐部.

Additionally, 可怜的学生, parents, alumnae, faculty and staff participated in 13 listening sessions over the summer. Both the positive and challenging experiences that were shared continue to influence our DEI objectives.

The DEI Committee created an optional book club for faculty and staff. It is the hope of the committee that these readings and discussions will provide a common grounding for the Mercy community as it continues to address our DEI work going forward.
