We envision the School of Medicine to be an equitable and inclusive work environment where all SOM staff feel valued for their efforts and understand the importance of their contributions in achieving the larger mission of the School of Medicine.
We can achieve this vision by…
- Listening and understanding the needs of the SOM staff.
- Advocating the needs of SOM staff to SOM DEI Leadership and Administration to ensure their voices are heard.
- Promoting equity and inclusion efforts across SOM staff by sharing and providing resources, programs, and best practices.
- Supporting belonging by building outlets of community for SOM staff.
