About the theme:Inclusive Excellence
Inclusive excellence is a university’s intentional and systematic effort toward developing an institution that serves the university and the larger community by recognizing and fostering talent within the university and the broader communities. Within the university community, inclusive excellence is the institution’s purposeful efforts to untangle barriers that have for different reasons constrained the institution from maximizing the talent of our students, faculty, and staff to accomplish individual, department and institutional goals. In the larger community, inclusive excellence means that we seek to cultivate a spirit throughout the state that seeks to support Missourians recognizing, and cultivating talent among our citizenry from different backgrounds.
The PAW committee will work within the three essential components of the Missouri State University Public Affairs Mission to meet the goals of Public Affairs Week. These three components are: Ethical Leadership, Cultural Competency and Community Engagement.
