PMB diversity, equity, and inclusion
Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion
In the Plant and Microbial Biology (PMB) Graduate Program, we strongly support and value a diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning community that fosters the academic and personal growth of students, faculty, and staff of all backgrounds.
As a program, we are specifically committed to:
- Eliminating barriers associated with systemic racism and bias, particularly in the recruitment and success of a diverse scholarly community.
- Elevating the voices of diverse scholars, particularly those from B.I.P.O.C. communities.
- Providing opportunities to learn from people with a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.
- Valuing the time and effort involved in community-engaged research.
We recognize that commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion requires both education and action. The University of Minnesota provides many opportunities to help students, faculty, and staff to achieve this commitment.
