Arts and Humanities West Campus
The academic disciplines that constitute the Arts and Humanities arise from our need to create; search for life's meaning, and to understand the nature of beauty, fellowship, knowledge, creativity, and imagination. The Arts and Humanities Department of Valencia College-West supports the College's mission by providing general education courses and extracurricular opportunities focused on foreign languages, fine arts, humanities, and peace studies, music, theater.
We, the Arts and Humanities Department, pledge to support and do our utmost to protect members of our community who are discriminated against, unjustly treated, or otherwise targeted because of race, religion, gender, sexuality, immigration status, and other forms of difference. Recognizing that words and symbols are powerful and can be manipulated into violence, we proclaim our commitment to direct the force of language toward large and small acts of learning, alliance, imagination, and justice.
We acknowledge this statement from the Faculty of the English Department at Cornell University.
