The mission of the School of Health Professions Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging is to work collaboratively with faculty, staff, students, and other stakeholders to promote a broadened individual and collective understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion.  Our aim is to create a culture of inclusion and social justice within the school, by recognizing its diversity and addressing mechanisms of systemic bias that affect marginalized groups. The aim is to foster growth and advocacy for all members of the school. With support from leadership, the office advises and recommends policies, professional development, and pedagogical practices as is consistent with the mission of the SHP.
