Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
In celebration of Women's History Month, we asked Vice Dean Ana Nunez what Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion mean to her! She shared with us the 4 elements of DEI success and we couldn't wait to share!
March marks Women's History Month! This month is primarily dedicated to recognizing and honoring the contributions of women throughout the years. The hope is that by raising awareness of the issues that women still face today, our empathy for each other will grow. WomensHistoryMonth.gov offers additional insight and resources for celebrating this month.
