Dean's Graduate Diversity Innovation Fund |
||
A group of graduate students, led by Madeline Arnold (Saijo lab) and Michelle Reid (Brohawn lab), received funding from the Dean’s Graduate Diversity Innovation Fund to support anti-racist and climate-related programs and initiatives. The pilot Affinity Groups program, organized through the trainee-led inclusive MCB+ (iMCB+) initiative, will bring trainees in the biological sciences together to connect with other trainees who have shared identities and experiences. The aim of the program is to provide spaces where people can be open about their identities, particularly those with underrepresented and minoritized identities, and can build communities of support. |
