IV. Anchoring our education and research efforts to the public we serve 

Because we have a role in creating a more vibrant Texas and beyond, we aim to deepen our relationships with the public and engage our dynamic and diverse community with the science and mathematics that we do.

The College will promote this through:

• engaging meaningfully with the public to inspire interest in science and broaden literacy around scientific topics
• promoting inclusive and welcoming environments for all, with concrete strategies for action and communications initiatives
• assessing and highlighting existing STEM outreach efforts in the college and across UT, while working toward coordinating, partnering and growing these efforts strategically to extend access to them and participation
• crafting development strategies tied to the overall strategic framework in ways that benefit the college community, Texas and all whom we serve
