Diversity &
Inclusion
CAICE unites world-class researchers to address the problems of today and train the scientists of tomorrow.
Diversity and inclusion is a central part of CAICE’s mission and goals. We support the engagement of individuals from groups underrepresented in STEM fields by fostering an equitable and inclusive environment. We value our collective diversity, whether it be based on race, ethnicity, age, sex, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, religion/faith background, educational background, socio-economic status, ability, national origin, citizen status, military status, or political affiliation.
CAICE has targeted programs to improve the number of underrepresented minorities in STEM, those numbers and a detailed report on our and all the Centers for Chemical Innovation diversity efforts can be found here.
Diversity Statement
The Center for Aerosol Impacts on Chemistry of the Environment (CAICE) strives to provide a community of individuals from many diverse backgrounds with diverse interests and goals. This community reflects the diversity of the world around us. Furthermore, we support and encourage scholarship and research that incorporates a multitude of perspectives and ideas. This community will create an environment that encourages the appreciation of the values, skills and abilities of everyone. As a community of researchers, we recognize the value of diversity and inclusion of groups that are underrepresented in STEM. CAICE also has a commitment to outreach to groups which are underrepresented in STEM fields.
