Diversity, equity and inclusion

The mission of the Chemistry Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is to encourage a stronger and just environment for chemistry education and training. Our key efforts are to increase DEI awareness, manage DEI expectations and incident reporting, and ensure that DEI policies are adopted in our department to foster a highly diverse STEM community at WSU.
