Dear students,
Yesterday I shared a statement of solidarity against Anti-Black racism and discrimination in all its forms. Today I am re-emphasizing that as Dean I am committed to expanding and deepening our focus on equity and inclusion as guiding forces for the work we lead and the education we deliver.
Making meaningful progress in this area will take time but I will continue to keep our community informed as our plans progress and also ensure opportunities for input and engagement are available along the way as we move forward together. Please see a link to the full statement on our website, available here.
