The Single Cell and Spatial Analysis program aims to create new knowledge, research, and creative innovation across campus and departments to enable scientists of different race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender expression, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, religious commitment, age, and disability status to equitably shape their environment through research and education. Aligned with the President’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Initiative (DEI), launched in the of Fall 2015, our program is committed to developing strategies for achieving equity and diminishing bias, harassment, discrimination, and intimidation in the college environment, in order to gain and sustain a critical mass of diverse students, staff, and faculty.
What does DEI mean to us?
We welcome and support all scientists, regardless of gender, races and origins.
DIVERSITY: is expressed in myriad forms, including race and ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, language, culture, national origin, religious commitments, age, (dis)ability status, and political perspective.
INCLUSION: ensures that our campus is a place where differences are welcomed, differing perspectives are respectfully heard, and where every individual feels a sense of belonging and connection.
EQUITY: is the assurance of non-discrimination and equal opportunity for all persons in our community. Race, color, national origin, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, religion, height, weight, or veteran status are irrelevant to the right of each individual to equitable access and standing.
