The staff of the SMHS Office of Diversity and Inclusion works from the paradigm that academic excellence and diversity are inextricably linked. A population of students, faculty, and staff with differing perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences leads to a richer mix of ideas, energizing and enlightening debate, and a vibrant academic and work environment. As such, the efforts and initiatives of the SMHS Office of Diversity and Inclusion are focused on promoting a positive institutional culture and climate, reinforcing our commitment to non-discrimination and equal opportunity, and creating a community of excellence where all are welcomed and valued.
I look forward to working with my colleagues across the school to continue to broaden our reach, enhance diversity, and to further our mission of improving the health and well-being of our local, national, and global communities.
