Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The School of Oceanography is committed to cultivating an equitable and inclusive environment for all current and future members of the Oceanography community. We believe diversity is essential to achieving excellence in research and teaching, and thus we strive to create a community where people of all backgrounds feel welcome.
