The University of Wisconsin-River Falls is deeply committed to supporting a learning and living environment in which all students, faculty, staff and community members are welcomed and respected.  This commitment is reflected in one of our university’s core values—inclusiveness—in which we commit ourselves to “create an environment of mutual respect, professional behavior, academic freedom and appreciation of individual differences and rich cultural diversity.”  As chancellor, I believe that our strong and purposeful support of the many faces and aspects of diversity enriches our academic enterprise, and better prepares our students for the next steps in their lives.  

~Dean Van Galen, Chancellor
