Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 

The School of Health, Wellness & Public Safety (HWPS) is committed to providing a positive learning experience to improve, enrich and expand opportunities in our students’ lives. In our diverse community, we bring an array of experience and knowledge. Our differences, which include race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ability, nationality, and experience strengthen our shared ability to provide support and care for our community.

We believe each faculty and staff member, student, and customer of HWPS must have equitable access to education and a work environment that supports inclusion.  We are committed to using our connections within the community to promote positive change, and we pride ourselves as leaders at CNM who actively engage and commit to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
