Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The EEMB Undergraduate Student Symposium supports diversity, equity, and inclusion in our department and STEM fields. Through our symposium, we aim to foster a more connected department community and open our research to a diverse audience. We are committed to a policy against discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, pregnancy, disability, age, ancestry, marital status, citizenship, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
