University culture and community
Fostering a Culture of Connectivity
Here, people from around the world come together in pursuit of a shared goal — improving the health of our communities. Their diverse cultures, values, beliefs, interests, experiences and viewpoints enrich our campus community and make us all better health care providers and human beings.
Through the Office of University Culture and Community, we are building a welcoming environment on campus and creating educational programming and experiences to prepare students to thrive in an interconnected world.
Inclusive Spaces
Students, faculty and staff can take advantage of welcoming spaces supporting and celebrating diversity.
multicultural center
The Multicultural Center provides a space where members of the UHSP community can gain a better understanding of others while exploring their own identity or set of beliefs that make them unique.
Spirituality Center
The Spirituality Center is a campus space that supports religious and non-religious spiritual engagement. The center supports the spiritual and holistic growth of members of the campus community through spiritual advising, worship services, reflection, meditation and prayer.
interfaith Prayer Room
Students, faculty and staff can pray or meditate in the Interfaith Prayer Room. Designed with spiritual inclusivity in mind, the interfaith space in the Recreation and Student Center is adaptable to meet the holistic needs of individual preferences.
Bias Incident Reporting
As outlined in the Bias Incident Response Policy, UHSP is committed to establishing and nurturing an environment that actively acknowledges and values diversity, equity and inclusion and is free from any type of prejudice, intolerance or harassment.
UHSP does not tolerate incidents of discrimination and will seek a positive resolution of all such matters.
Incidents of bias should be reported using the Bias Incident Report form.
Social Awareness and Cultural Sensitivity Training
UHSP presents a number of training opportunities throughout the year to educate student pharmacists on how to respond to patients’ needs and preferences as well as recognize cultural, racial and social inequities in health care.
