Inclusive Excellence
“Inclusive Excellence is a core value at Lebanon Valley College. It reaffirms the college’s commitment to excellence through diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a collaborative process, it unites LVC’s students, faculty, staff, and alumni and sets the framework for growing and sustaining a learning and working community where a sense of belonging is experienced by everyone, and every person feels valued and respected.”
—Dr. Felicia Brown-Haywood, vice president of diversity, equity, and inclusive excellence
Lebanon Valley College acknowledges that the land on which our institution is located is within the historic homelands of the Susquehannock Tribal Nation. We further acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory, and we honor and respect the many diverse peoples who have and continue to cultivate relationships to this land.
