Diversity

Professor Geni Eng talks with students in her office.

At our School, we are committed to giving our students, faculty and staff the opportunity to learn and work in an environment that is rich in academic pursuits, research initiatives, philosophical perspectives and culture. We believe that by cultivating an atmosphere of diversity within the School, we better prepare our students for the diverse world that awaits them -- a world that seeks culturally competent people to serve as its leaders.

When we embrace the socioeconomic, physical, cultural, racial, and ethnic differences of our students, faculty, and staff, we enrich the quality of coursework, classroom discussions, research and practice both within the School and beyond.
