About the Committee

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is a set of members of the department including administrative and research staff, undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty. We work together to advance the department’s DEI missions through innovative programs and initiatives.

Talent is as diverse as humanity. Our department aims to find, recruit, connect, and support researchers and scholars of outstanding potential and demonstrated accomplishment. Diversity and inclusion are essential to this mission: we strive to recruit from the largest talent pool and then empower successful collaboration in multiple scientific communities. With common values and purpose, along with many different backgrounds and perspectives, our DEI committee works together to listen and empower, create opportunities, and build community.
