Zero Tolerance for Discrimination and Harassment
We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, harassment, bullying, or misconduct. If you experience or witness an incident that compromises our community’s values of respect and inclusion, please reach out. We are here to listen and to support, and we take all reports seriously.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that Randolph College is located on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples, now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. We recognize the enduring presence and contributions of Indigenous communities to this land and are committed to honoring the resilience and strength of Indigenous Peoples. This acknowledgment reflects our commitment to truth, respect, and reconciliation.
