Geneseo Chemistry Statement in Support of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

(Adopted 10/14/20)

The Department of Chemistry at SUNY Geneseo is committed to fostering and sustaining a diverse, equitable and inclusive student-centered environment where there is mutual respect for all. The Department strongly believes that all students deserve equity and inclusivity in their learning and mentorship experiences, one that welcomes, values, and supports a diverse student body. Diversity enhances the academic and life experience for every student.

The Department of Chemistry therefore commits to the following:

• To provide a safe environment where all students can engage, learn, and contribute to their fullest potential.
• To make progress towards removing any harmful biases by engaging in periodic conversations and initiatives that promote inclusion and equity for all students.
• To promote a nurturing and welcoming environment for all students, including, but not limited to, identities related to race, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic circumstance, national origin, geographic background, immigration status, ability and disability, physical characteristics, veteran status, age, political ideology, or religious belief.
