Our Commitment to Diversity

The Counseling Program at ULM is committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the curriculum and clinical experience. We invite diversity and foster a culture of inclusion that supports multiple dimensions of culture that includes race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, spirituality, nationality, regionality, disability, and beyond.

Within the Counseling Program, we attempt to foster and maintain a safe environment of respect and inclusion for faculty, staff, students, and members of the communities we serve. We educate our faculty and students to be social justice advocates for marginalized populations and direct our curriculum to reflect the diversity of our communities and elevate awareness.

The Counseling Program is committed to building and retaining a faculty, staff, and student body that reflects these cultural values and respects the dignity of all persons.

Evaluation of our Commitment to Diversity

Every year program faculty members, current students, alumni, and the Counseling Advisory Committee assess and evaluate the Commitment to Diversity of the Counseling Program at ULM in the same way as the program mission, goal, and objectives.
