A reminder of professionalism
Posted: September 17, 2025
Greetings,
As healthcare educators and support staff, it is important to remember the words we use—whether in person or on social media—can have a lasting impact. Our ATSU community is built on respect, cultural proficiency, empathy, and the exchange of diverse perspectives.
We each share a responsibility to communicate in a civil and thoughtful manner, in alignment with University policies, including the Code of Ethical Standards. Even when views differ, we can choose to engage one another with kindness and professionalism.
The strength of our community lies in our ability to listen, learn, and grow together. By approaching conversations in good faith and honoring one another’s dignity, we ensure ATSU remains a safe and supportive environment for all.
Thank you for your continued commitment to upholding these values.
Yours in service,
Craig M. Phelps, DO, ’84
Chancellor
