The LJC Embodies LAES Values

Our LAES Division values include:

• that there is a deep relationship between language, culture, and identity;
• that our own identities and communities are a source of pride and power;
• that understanding how others think and view the world is a core aspect of human relationships;
• that expression and student voice are critical agents of civic engagement and social justice.
