Goals of the committee
- Provide social support for postdocs from under-represented groups (URG).
- Provide diversity awareness in all postdocs and non-postdoc campus communities.
- Provide support in the form of training, resources (see below). and funding opportunities.
Resources
As stated above, one of the goals of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee is to collect information on resources we think can help postdocs, and list that information here. Please let us know if you have additional resources you would like to see listed, or if one of our links is out of date.
For announcements and other news on the topics of diversity and inclusion, we’ve made a special category for posts on our blog.
