Our Mission
The mission of the MBS D&I committee is to create a welcoming place where trainees, faculty and staff can all flourish and achieve excellence. The MBS D&I committee will work towards developing an inclusive and cohesive culture within the department and across the UT campus. Our goal is to foster an environment where diverse voices and perspectives are heard and welcomed, and where members feel free to pursue their personal and career goals regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, country of origin, language, religion, career path, learning or physical ability.
