We are committed to collaboration within and across disciplinary boundaries, and to sustaining professional links with relevant local, national, and global organizations.
Our Mission & History
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
As a university community, a department, and as individuals, we must reflect on our own positionality and the ways that we collectively and individually contribute to racism and oppression by our actions and inactions.
