The students who comprise our organization represent different abilities, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, religions, ages, genders, and political affiliations. As such, NACURH is a representative body of a truly multicultural population in which individual differences are accepted and welcomed. We accept the responsibility to act aggressively and proactively toward educating our membership. We strongly encourage schools to build conference delegations that are representative and inclusive of the diversity of people from their individual campuses. Ultimately, we strive for an appreciation, understanding, and acceptance of diversity. Finally, we encourage member schools to work together to provide an unified front in order to achieve our basic goal of improving residence halls nationwide and internationally."
