“The University of Mississippi School of Education will promote and celebrate diversity and commit ourselves for the long term. In doing so, we recognize that we must constantly change as we prepare students for the future. We also recognize that progress is sometimes made in a day, but often requires months and years. The School of Education embraces within its campus culture those values and experience that enrich the human understanding. We choose to be a school where civil discourse triumphs over ignorance. We chose to be a school that prepares our students for participation in a world that may transcend geographic borders but embraces the unique identity of each individual.” – Karen V. Davidson Smith
