Victoria Daniels, J.D., University of Delaware
My conversation with Victoria Daniels, J.D. shares more than her role at the University of Delaware. It's about the why and how behind diverse business owners' value propositions.
Great tips for diverse business owners - Have you ever googled or searched yourself? Rethink how you approach transactional relationships. Is it worth the effort?
Diversity, equity, and inclusion
The University of Delaware’s educational mission is to prepare students to live in an increasingly interconnected and diverse world. To do so, we are committed to fostering a robust educational environment that supports critical thinking, free inquiry, and an understanding of diverse views and values. We see diversity as a core value and guiding principle for our educational mission and thus must work to make diversity an integral part of everyday life on campus. To this end, we take diversity to mean both the recognition and appreciation of the different backgrounds, values, and ideas of those who comprise our campus, as well as a commitment to ensuring that all people on our campus are treated according to the principles of fairness, civility, dignity, and equity. We are committed to building an educational community that understands people from different backgrounds and economic circumstances, with different needs, and from diverse personal and philosophical beliefs. We want to make all people who are part of the University feel welcome and valued in campus life.
