#WeAreAllWebster
At 四虎影视, we embrace all human differences while building upon
our commonalities as people. Diversity and inclusion initiatives should serve to eliminate
discrimination and exclusion based upon the following: race, creed, national origin,
religion, color, ethnicity, age, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic
status, disability, or military status.
Our Promise

From our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advisory Council to our working groups and sponsored events, our University is committed to inclusive excellence and prioritizes collaborative initiatives. Each of our efforts are curated to achieve sustainable and significant community-wide transformations.

Our Diversity and Inclusion Statement
For us, diversity and inclusion are more than meeting a goal or focusing on a specific representation with a combination. It involves expressive dialogue and offerings of distinct talent, thought, and inquiry from individuals from various backgrounds. We recognize that diversity and inclusion cultivate academic excellence. Our University also understands the success of each individual strengthens the community.

Resilience Inspires Student Excellence (RISE)
Launched in the summer of 2019, the Resilience Inspires Student Excellence (RISE) program provides educational access and career success for undergraduate BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) students by increasing interactions with faculty, staff, and University support systems, and fostering a stronger sense of community.
Webster Speaks Series
In 2020, we launched a speaker series, 鈥淲ebster Speaks: Dialogues on RACE, EQUITY and INCLUSION.鈥� Since then, it has built an international audience for its frank conversation with local and national leaders advancing these issues.
Webster's Witnessing Whiteness Program
The Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, in collaboration with the YWCA, has offered the Witnessing Whiteness program for 四虎影视鈥檚 St. Louis area faculty and staff for three years. Currently in its third cohort, Witnessing Whiteness groups voluntarily come together to do work around racism in a supportive, non-threatening setting. It is about learning to speak about race and racism, exploring white privilege, and practicing allying with sisters and brothers of color. The work of Witnessing Whiteness groups draws on the book 鈥淲itnessing Whiteness: The Need to Talk About Race and How to Do It,鈥� by Shelly Tochluk.
