As an international student and a woman, I understand how difficult it can be to feel that we belong. This is why I hope the RESPECT Magazine can become a space of empathy and acceptance for everyone who needs it and bring us a little bit closer to an equitable community.

Recognizing, embracing and respecting individual and group differences are important to all the communities. Diversity shapes our view of the world from different dimensions. I hope the RESPECT magazine provides a platform for everyone to feel welcome and free to share the differences to make the community a better place.

While striving for a more equitable community, it is crucial to recognize that empathetic communication is a driving factor. I hope the RESPECT magazine provides students with a creative outlet to share their unique perspectives.

Facilitating conversations that involve students is essential for research, learning and community engagement, which are the mainstays of Educational Leadership. With the RESPECT magazine, I hope, we can also recognize our distinct voice and diverse identities.

Every person plays a role in advancing equity. To be engaged, you must feel included and valued. I hope the RESPECTmagazine empowers students to create a safe campus community where we can foster belonging and respect human rights.
