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.

COVID Safety

COVID-19 is still a risk. Masks are strongly recommended in indoor spaces on campus. We strongly recommend a kN95 or N95 respirator, as this offers the greatest protection to you and the community. 

Testing is available at no charge to all members of the campus community. We strongly recommend a negative PCR test prior to this event.
