About the CMEI
Core Values
The CMEI’s vision, mission, goals, action plan, and assessment plan are informed by a set of core values that represent what it can and will be. Those values are:
The CMEI values student development, which we view as a commitment to helping students learn, grow, and develop academically, socially, emotionally, and professionally.
The CMEI values engagement, which we view as creating an environment where the collective community wants to collaborate, participate, and learn with curiosity, interest, open-mindedness, and passion.
The CMEI values equity, which we view as recognizing that everyone is different, has different circumstances, and has different needs. As a result, we believe in allocating the resources and opportunities necessary to ensure that everyone is able to achieve equal goals and outcomes.
The CMEI values community, which we view as synonymous with the elements that McMillian and Chavis identify, including the feeling of belonging, mattering, integration and fulfillment of needs, and a shared emotional connection.
The CMEI values justice, which we view as collectively acting and striving to be reasonable, proper, righteous, and fair.
The CMEI values experiential learning, which we view as the opportunity to act as a catalyst for learning through experience and through reflection of those experiences.
Mission
To provide a student centered, accessible, intersectional, anti-racist, and equitable experience that prioritizes community engagement, servingness, and cultural appreciation.
To fulfill its mission, the CMEI will engage in leadership and community development as well as co-curricular activities through a process that combines the application of scholarly research, programming, experiential activities, and student activities and learning.
Vision
The CMEI envisions providing a physical and conceptual space where:
-
The entire MSU Denver community feels heard, valued, included, validated, and safe.
-
Student voices and values are developed, integrated, and prioritized through a transparent, intersectional approach supported by feedback and accountability.
-
Inclusivity, authenticity, academic enrichment, and free expression are emphasized through a collaborative process combining theoretical scholarship and social justice practical engagement.
