Pathways to Success: Wellness and Support
Research Training with Balance
The Center for Immunology is committed to creating a healthy, supportive environment for all students, staff, and faculty. In collaboration with the University of Minnesota's Graduate School, Medical School, and campus partners, we work to ensure every member of our community has access to the resources, mentorship, and opportunities they need to succeed academically, professionally, and personally.
We believe that balance, well-being, and mutual respect are essential to effective research training and a thriving academic community.
