Would you like your story to be considered for inclusion on the MPSOM Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) webpage?*

YesNo
Your DEI story should be related and relevant to the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion:
- Diversity acknowledges differences between community members, with respect to various aspects of their social and musical identities, perspectives, experiences, and other characteristics.
- Equity takes differences into account in order to help all community members succeed. It involves identifying systems and structures that acts as barriers inhibiting certain people more than others. Equitable musical experiences provide all participants with access, support, and opportunities to be engaged.
- Inclusion occurs when all community members feel welcome, valued, and safe to engage in the musical environment. Inclusion is intentionally cultivated with deliberate actions.
