Committees and Resources

We know we are stronger for the diverse community of rigorous thinkers and doers who come together here, bound by a shared passion for science.

Advancing Belonging Together

Our academic disciplines in science, math and technology require many perspectives and backgrounds to achieve the excellence we’re known for. Several committees and efforts support the work to build belonging for everyone.
