Fostering diversity among students, researchers, and faculty is a priority for BESS. We work to create an inclusive environment and are committed to improving the representation of minority groups within science. We encourage students from a diverse range of backgrounds to apply to our PhD program. Below are resources to improve inclusion and representation of minority groups in our department. Please email our current leadership if you have any further questions.
