Grand View University aspires to serve a diverse community of learners- students, faculty, and staff- in an inclusive and equitable environment with the goal of empowering all to achieve their fullest potential. Our objective is to sustain a campus environment that is free from the power imbalances and institutional biases that contribute to systems of oppression, while preparing our students to stand against those inequities when they leave Grand View.

Grand View University is dedicated to the goal of an inclusive campus where people of diverse identities feel welcomed and empowered to shape our culture and processes. At Grand View University we view diversity through the collective or group and we welcome and affirm the thoughts and experiences each distinct member brings to our community of learners.

Core II Seminar - Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 1:00 - 1:50

This course is designed to provide students with opportunities to engage with issues of diversity and inclusion, and to explore the intersection between global awareness and vocational discernment. Students will do so through immersion experiences in local or global communities and through study of difference, bias, privilege and inclusion. Students will develop their own understandings of what it means to live a socially responsible life of ethical service to others in our diverse world. Different sections of the course may focus on different groups or aspects of local or global diversity.

Previous teaching experience and relevant experience in the subject area are desired. PhD preferred, Master's degree required. Please include letter of application, vita/resume, transcripts (unofficial satisfactory at this time) and contact information for three references in your online application materials.
