"Good practice in student affairs builds supportive and inclusive communities. Student learning occurs best in safe and caring communities that value diversity and debate, promote belonging, and demand social responsibility." Principles of Good Practice in Student Affairs.

In accordance with the American College Personnel Association and the Principles of Good Practice in Student Affairs, MCPA acknowledges that equal access cannot be fully realized until each individual is accepted into an environment free of prejudice and bias. MCPA strives to have diversity within its own membership, as well as the campuses that its membership represents. MCPA is committed to providing continuing education for its membership, which focuses on eliminating prejudice, stereotypes, and behaviors that adversely impact our colleagues, our students, and our campuses.
