Commitment to Anti-Racism

A Statement from the Department of Student Health and Wellness
June 5, 2020
We, the UVA Department of Student Health and Wellness, condemn acts of racial violence and discrimination that have occurred against Black and African American people. We recognize that overt and covert racism and longstanding systemic inequities affect the well-being and success of our students, employees, and community members of color. These injustices have also contributed to a differential impact of health and financial losses, as well as sense of safety, to Black, Latinx, Asian and other minority communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Health care and public health, without question, should function with social justice and equity as guiding principles. Our Department, including Counseling and Psychological Services, Medical Services, the Office of Health Promotion, and the Student Disability Access Center, as well as the Gordie Center, commits to upholding anti-racist policies and practices. We are listening and here to help.

The Department of Student Health and Wellness (SHW) respects, values, and celebrates all ages, abilities, gender identities or expressions, national origins, races, religions, sexes, and sexual orientations.  SHW does not discriminate on the basis of age, color, disability, gender identity, marital status, national or ethnic origin, political affiliation, race, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, veteran status, and family and genetic information, in its programs and activities.  We stand in solidarity with other University offices and departments, colleagues, and students to uphold these values.
