Mission Statement
The CCB Diversity Committee is dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion across the Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology.

Our Current Initiatives
Diversity in Chemistry Seminars: A mini-symposium will be held once per semester, with the goals of these seminars being (1) to invite chemists from diverse backgrounds to our department, (2) to create a forum for our students to interact with diverse role models, and (3) to support open discussions on inclusion, individual experiences, and self-identity in STEM.
