Diversity
Diversity is a value, resource, and characteristic of the School of Arts and Sciences. We are committed to accessing and mobilizing the full resources of a diverse society and providing our students with an educational experience that adequately prepares them for life, learning, and work in the increasingly global world they will inherit.
Our commitment operates on three distinct levels:
- Recruiting and mentoring students who reflect the diversity of our city, region, and nation;
- Recruiting and retaining faculty and staff whose diversity, especially in areas of race and gender, reflects and serves our student body by providing diverse role models and offering all students an opportunity to experience a wider range of diversity; and,
- Strengthening and updating curricular endeavors and research opportunities that provide graduate students with theoretical insights, analytical skills, and practical knowledge pertaining to issues of diversity, including race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, and class.
