Dr. Charles “charlie” Liu | Director of MOSAIC Office of Education and Outreach
Hannah Huey-Jones | Access Specialist, Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities
Monaca Eaton | Director of Undergraduate Education – BASW Program

Why Dignity?
Dignity is the belief that every person matters equally. It’s not earned—it’s inherent. Honoring dignity means treating others with respect simply because they are human. When we uphold dignity in our words and actions, we create more just, compassionate, and inclusive communities.

Additional Day of Dignity activities will be taking place throughout the day on the main floor of the library.

Whether you’re a student, staff member, faculty, or community guest, this is your invitation to pause, reflect, and act. Let’s build a culture of compassion, respect, and shared humanity—one moment, one story, one act at a time.

Because dignity isn’t just a value—it’s a practice.
