Mentoring Statement

We are committed to equality in science and academia and to creating an environment where everyone can thrive and feel welcome.  Our goals are to:

• Model unity and acceptance on a daily basis
• Reflect on our own biases and prejudices, acknowledge them, and find solutions to eliminate them
• Value multiple stories and deconstruct stereotypes
• Foster and advance leadership and mentoring
• Stimulate and share multiple ways of thinking, fostering creativity and innovation

We strive to offer support, mentorship, experience, and inspiration students need to succeed in science or any other field of their choosing.
