SAMD Diversity Statement
As a multidisciplinary program, the School of Advanced Materials Discovery’s materials science and engineering (MSE) programs are inherently diverse in academic practices and experiences. We are further committed to an environment in which all community members feel welcomed, valued, and affirmed by:
- Removing the GRE requirement for applicants and holistically reviewing admissions applications
- Having an active Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) committee that identifies and responds to opportunities for development of DEI
- Developing DEI competency and relating it to the field of materials science and engineering
- Engaging with our local community and educating them about materials
- Recruiting and retaining students that will increase the diversity of our program
- Providing opportunities for continued growth and awareness of DEI issues
