The POD Network in Higher Education is committed to the creation of inclusive environments where diverse people and perspectives are welcomed, encouraged, and seen as essential to effective teaching, learning, and educational development. We reaffirm our core values of advocacy, social justice, inclusion, collegiality, and diverse perspectives. At this time, when many are experiencing hostility and exclusion, we will reinforce our efforts to promote these core values in the POD Network, our institutions, and the world. The POD Network Executive and Core Committees wish to express deep gratitude to our colleagues and members for enacting these values at the 2016 conference in Louisville, Kentucky, USA.

Sincerely,

The POD Network Core & Executive Committees
