HUMAN DIGNITY & belonging

Committed to our entire community

We champion human dignity and belonging in all the spaces we occupy. We believe that each person’s value arises not merely as an avatar of group identity – such as class, race, gender, religion, orientation, or origin – but from simply being human. Each individual brings a distinctive background that is grounded in the shared and universal commonality of humanity. In the context of our work at Reach, the pursuit of affordable, accessible, and high-quality education for all individuals who seek itis enshrined in our vision, mission, and institutional learning objectives.

Successful work-and-learn environments require an authentic sense of belonging. This means each individual human being feels valued as part of the larger group. The group is valued by each individual. Enabling people of all identities and backgrounds to feel welcomed to do their best work is in all its forms central to Reach. Organizations looking to achieve excellence assemble a “dream team” of complementary human beings who are more powerful and insightful together than apart. At Reach, all decisions in our admissions, hiring, and partnerships are made without regard to protected characteristics and based on the qualifications and skills of all and the communities we serve.  Our approach aims to infuse candidates, faculty, and staff with the belief that they, no matter their identity, belong in higher education.
