Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

Building a thriving community through mentorship, inclusion, and ethics.

Our institute believes that having members with different backgrounds, identities, and academic experiences enriches our community. We strive to create a culture that is open and creative, and that promotes a sense of belonging. We also prioritize ethical use of artificial intelligence and responsible handling of data as part of our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
