The Department of Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine acknowledges the lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM and aims to understand our diversity, celebrate our culture, and promote equity within our department and institution.
The department's Community Engagement and Equity Committee was created in 2020 to address improving department culture to celebrate the inclusivity of all members. The committee includes faculty, fellows, postdocs, and staff committed to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the following areas: recruitment and onboarding; retention and advancement; climate, inclusion, and engagement; and research training and education.
