Faculty-Student Diversity Committee

Goals

The goals of the Faculty-Student Diversity Committee are to:

  1. increase diversity of the graduate student population, and ensure graduate programs foster an inclusive and supportive learning and training environment;
  2. integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion as a key component in the success and well-being of the graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty at UCSF;
  3. share best practices on current strategies and identify gaps in recruitment and retention of underrepresented in science populations

Meeting Times and Dates

Once per quarter, first Wednesday of the month, from noon to 1 p.m.
