CORED Banner. Penn State Home. Commission on Racial/Ethnic Diversity (CORED).

What is the commission's operating philosophy?

The commission's primary function is to advise the President of Penn State, but it is also a resource for all University departments and individuals seeking to improve Penn State's climate for diversity. The commission encourages "teamwork, collaboration, and communication" as it serves the University's mission of cultivating an "appreciation of human capabilities and human diversity," and "appreciation of a multicultural human society and a greater involvement with our increasingly interdependent world." In this endeavor, the commission believes the University can realize its potential to become a total quality institution, within Pennsylvania and in the world, when all its customers or clients, both internal and external, feel encouraged to achieve their own personal and professional potential within a safe and supportive community that values diversity.
