We are committed to our mission of building and preserving an environment that is free from discrimination, where every individual is respected, valued, and afforded equal opportunities.
Our commitment to these principles is built into every aspect of our work:
Equal Opportunity: We are committed to providing equal opportunities to everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, age, or any characteristic protected by law.
Respect and Inclusion: We celebrate the diversity of our community and are dedicated to creating a culture where everyone feels respected, included, and supported.
Non-Discrimination: Discrimination has no place in our department. We stand firmly against any form of discrimination based on personal characteristics or identity.
Accessibility: We strive to make all resources and services accessible and available to everyone, including those with visible and invisible disabilities.
Resources and Education: We encourage our community to explore the wide range of resources, programs, and support systems provided by the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC to enhance understanding, empathy, and inclusion.
By embracing these principles, we aim to build an inclusive department where opportunities are available to everyone.
