A mission and promise
Since its establishment in 2018, the department's DEIJ Committee has divided its efforts by establishing subcommittees: Trainee Recruitment and Outreach, Faculty Recruitment, Development and Education, and Communication. Through the support and guidance of each subcommittee, the department can aim to ensure the inclusion, acceptance and respect of all in its community by:
- Embracing and celebrating commonalities and differences
- Fostering awareness of cultural competence and unconscious bias
- Nurturing empathy, humility and collaboration
- Engaging, supporting and inspiring all members of the department
