At the University of Washington, we believe that diversity and inclusivity are integral to excellence. Our mission is to create new chemical knowledge and prepare the next generation of scientists in a safe and inclusive environment.
To push our mission forward we must ask tough questions.
How do we:
- Increase access?
- Create an equity-minded learning environment?
- Ensure equal opportunity?
We invite you to join us in this conversation and work with us to create a community of equal opportunity, diversity of viewpoints, and academic excellence.
