We at HA ThirtyOne believe that all people deserve to be treated with fairness, respect, dignity and compassion. Because systemic racism and oppression remain pervasive within society, we see opportunities to positively impact culture and the national conversation through our work in higher education. And because we strongly believe that principles are only as good as the actions they drive, we pledge to challenge our own implicit biases by seeking out opportunities to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion through cultural competency and antiracist practices, engagement and advocacy. With this statement we promise ourselves, our partners and our clients to take measurable steps to make our company, our industry and the world around us more aware, compassionate, and inclusive. We invite our colleagues to join us in this endeavor and to hold us accountable.
