Diversity and Inclusion

Vanderbilt University’s Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is committed to fostering an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming environment that promotes belonging, respect, and collegiality for all students, faculty, staff, and guests.

We aspire to recruit, retain, and support a diverse group of students, postdocs, staff, and faculty, and to provide an environment in which all individuals can contribute and excel.

We value the varied experiences and perspectives that people of different backgrounds bring to our community.

We share a responsibility to confront instances of bias and harassment, and to treat everyone with dignity and respect. We embrace what makes us each unique.

We believe that diversity and inclusion are critical to excellence in research and education. Individual differences enrich our community, our impact, and what we do.
