Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are assets. We strongly believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in academia not only enhance creativity, but also provide broader and important perspectives from different backgrounds. The Department is committed to the inclusion of faculty and trainees of all cultural experiences. Our goal is to cultivate a welcoming, supportive and collaborative culture for all members of the department.
