The purpose of Phi Alpha is to provide a closer bond among students and promote humanitarian goals and ideals. Phi Alpha is dedicated to honoring diversity, equality, inclusivity, justice and fostering a community where individuals
from all walks of life can flourish. The vast differences between us, whether it be race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, faith, ability, and their intersections; or any community one
may identify with, brings highly valued experiences and individual expertise that could not be possible without each person feeling welcome, respected and heard. Each of our differences brings a unique perspective that
is essential to growing the field of social work and tackling the oppressive systems that prohibit everyone from reaching their full potential. Phi Alpha is committed to creating a space where diversity is not only welcomed,
but truly valued for all it is worth.
