A CULTURE OF BELONGING
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Lighting the way
The University of Miami is uniquely positioned to lead on this front, given our distinguished faculty, high-quality programs, vibrant campus, and South Florida location – one of the most culturally diverse communities anywhere. We are committed to building a culture of inclusion and belonging that reflects the world around us and empowers our students, faculty, staff, and patients to thrive.
BRIGHTER OPPORTUNITIES
Championing equity for all
We know that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths. By opening doors of opportunities for our students in disciplines and professions in which women and minorities have historically been underrepresented—particularly in STEM and medicine—we are reducing disparities and paving new career pathways. By increasing the diversity of our faculty members, researchers, and clinicians who bring a wide range of perspectives and experiences, we create better outcomes for all.
