Dear Lipscomb Community,
 
At Lipscomb, we are wholeheartedly committed to creating and being a community that embraces the equitable treatment of one another and promotes a place of belonging that includes cherishing every human’s sacred character and celebrating their intrinsic worth as unique individuals. We are continually striving to build a diverse community of students, faculty and staff that fully undergoes and contributes to the transformative educational experiences that Lipscomb offers. We aspire to send a message to all that anyone who chooses to be part of our Christian values-based community -- you are welcome here!
 
As we continue to expand our national and global footprint, we actively seek a culture of belonging by inviting all people’s contributions and full participation in our university community. 
 
We recognize that everyone has a voice and deserves a chance to be heard and a space to showcase their potential to the fullest extent. We know one person is not representative of an entire community, and therefore we encourage all members within the Lipscomb community to be their most authentic selves and share their voices. By continuously encouraging our community members to play an active role in Lipscomb’s story, we can accumulate a fuller representation of all that we are as an institution founded on Christian values-based leadership.
 
Blessings,

William Lofton Turner
Distinguished Professor of Leadership and Public Policy and 
Special Counsel to the President for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
