Our Mission & SEHD goals and priorities

Mission

Education and Well-Being for Equity* — To prepare equity-minded and inclusive educational, community, family, and mental health practitioners, scholars, and leaders dedicated to eradicating inequalities and discrimination. We champion change that leads to well-being, opportunity, and life-long learning in the diverse urban, rural, and global communities that we serve.

*In using the term “equity,” we mean creating a just, safe and inclusive environment as defined by the CU Denver Strategic Plan.
