Diversity & Inclusion

Our country & our university have a long way to go to realize our goal of allowing every student in every classroom to feel welcome and valued. My intent is to create a space where these goals are visible and we're making progress toward them. Speaking for myself, I strongly value diversity of opinion and identity, and I hope I can make that clear in my actions. Please let me know if there are ways that I could be doing that better.
