Sbs Dei Committee (billboard (landscape) 2592 X 864 Px) (1)
Our Mission:

The HSC School of Biomedical Sciences (SBS) is committed to diversity among its students, staff, and faculty. This diversity is reflected on many levels, including race, ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, education, marital status, language, and physical appearance. All differences are valued organizational assets of SBS and affirmed and respected.

Our goal is to maintain an educational and work environment that is free of discrimination and harassment, reflects the diversity of the communities we serve, and deserves a respectful and inclusive culture for our students, staff, and faculty. We are committed to equitable treatment and the elimination of discrimination in all of its forms at all organizational levels within the SBS as essential to our success.

In accordance with HSC’s Nondiscrimination Policy, we will ensure fair and inclusive access to facilities, programs, resources, and services.

For official information regarding this committee, please see the SBS Bylaws.
