Pharmacology Graduate Program Diversity
Statement
The Graduate School embraces the University of Minnesota's position
that promoting and supporting diversity among the student body
is central to the academic mission of the University. We define
diversity to encompass many characteristics including economic
disadvantage, special talents, evidence of leadership qualities,
race or ethnicity, a strong work record, and disability. A diverse
student body enriches graduate education by providing a multiplicity
of views and perspectives that enhance research, teaching, and
the development of new knowledge. A diverse mix of students promotes
respect for, and opportunities to learn from, others with the broad
range of backgrounds and experiences that constitute modern society.
Higher education trains the next generation of leaders of academia
and society in general, and such opportunities for leadership should
be accessible to all members of society. The Graduate School and
its constituent graduate programs are therefore committed to providing
equal access to educational opportunities through recruitment,
admission, and support programs that promote diversity, foster
successful academic experiences, and cultivate the leaders of the
next generation. ALL applicants to the pharmacology graduate program
are invited to consider including in their personal statements
a brief discussion of how their presence as a graduate student
in our program would contribute to the University of Minnesota's
objective of promoting excellence through diversity.
