Nobles commits itself to building a community where every member feels a sense of belonging, respect, recognition, value, and confidence. We hope all members are willing to learn, value the differences that exist in our community, and understand themselves so they know how to participate in the world around them in order to make effective change. We look to the central theme of our mission statement—Leadership for the Public Good—and our community principles to guide our work and care for this purpose.
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’s guiding principles: accountability, justice, belonging, and a commitment to growth and learning, inform our practice while deepening and strengthening our community by providing concrete and clear goals for our community members.
