In seeking to live this commitment faithfully, we must first ac知识 how we are continuously influenced by the collective history of systemic in股本 in society at large, despite our commitment to inclusivity. We must learn from our failures and build upon our successes to work toward a more inclusive institution that is rooted in Mercy.

为了实现这个目标, our community must meaningfully internalize this work of transformation; it will require all to 参与 in collaborative implementation that strategically integrates inclusion and 激进的怜悯 融入课程, co-curriculum, 管理结构, 实践, 决策, 和文化.
