University of Richmond
PAE-2: Strategic Plan

The Richmond Promise addresses social dimensions of sustainability through a commitment to integrated academics, inclusive diversity, and community engagement. The University provides opportunities for students of all majors to obtain a wide breadth of knowledge through the access to classes in schools outside a student's major. The University strives to create a diverse and inclusive community, by bringing students together who have diverse opinions, experiences, beliefs, and perspectives. In addition, the strategic plan ensures a welcoming and inclusive campus environment that acknowledges and embraces members of different races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ability statuses, ages, religions, economic standings, or geographic origins. This focus on inclusivity prepares students with the ability to make a positive and powerful impact on the diverse and global community. The University's commitment to community engagement provides students with access to opportunities throughout their college career to become engaged citizens, using their collective knowledge to contribute to the local and global community.

The Richmond Promise addresses economic dimensions of sustainability through a commitment to accessibility and affordability and community engagement as two of the major goals. By making the University accessible and affordable to all students who can benefit from a Richmond education and contribute to bettering the Richmond community. Additionally, the focus on community engagement provides opportunities to actively contribute to and connect with the surrounding community.
