DIVERSITY COMMITTEE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EPIDEMIOLOGY
 |
|
|
|
The Diversity Committee in the Department of Epidemiology was established in July 2000 in recognition of the fact that racial and ethnic diversity within educational communities fosters academic excellence. The committee’s mandate is to assist in creating an educational environment that fosters development of leaders in public health. To that end, a student body and faculty representative of the cultural, social and ethnic diversity of New York City are imperative. The Diversity Committee is charged with the following:
The Committee sponsors lectures and discussions focused on public health issues for ethnic minorities as well as social events designed to create a supportive environment for all students and faculty in the Department. The Committee’s goals are achieved through collaborative efforts with the Department’s Doctoral Committee, Master's Committee, Curriculum Committee, Student and Faculty Funding Sources, and the School-wide Diversity Committee of the Dean's Office at the Mailman School of Public Health. |
