About Institutional Servingness
About Institutional Servingness
Institutional Servingness is a commitment to actively cultivating a campus culture where every member of our community—students, faculty, staff, and external partners—feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. At Sacramento State, this means going beyond diversity metrics to embrace a holistic approach that integrates belonging, equity, and excellence into every facet of university life.
Through Inclusive Excellence, we strive to foster a deep sense of appreciation for individual contributions, foster meaningful connections, support professional and personal growth, and align with institutional values that elevate justice, equity, and inclusion. This mission is brought to life through three guiding pillars:
- Collaborative Servingness: Engaging all areas of campus and the broader community in shared efforts to uplift and serve diverse identities.
- Cultural Insights: Harnessing knowledge and experiences to celebrate cultural richness and create transformative spaces of belonging.
- Compassionate Compliance: Ensuring equity and inclusion are foundational, not just regulatory, in how we operate and lead.
Institutional Servingness reflects our dedication to enhancing student success, academic and creative achievements, community involvement, and holistic well-being while maintaining a steadfast focus on justice and belonging. Together, we create a thriving Hornet community where everyone can flourish.
