Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ)

Commitment

The Graduate Program in Ecology of Continental Aquatic Environments (PEA) is committed to providing an environment in which our community of graduate students and faculty is as diverse as possible and can thrive.

Our goals are to promote a more equitable and inclusive culture among graduate students and faculty, as well as to improve justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in the selection of graduate students.

Our process includes a waiver of the application fee for the graduate selection exam for low-income candidates, as well as the reservation of 20% of the available positions for Affirmative Action Policies, for self-declared Black (Black and Brown), self-declared Indigenous, and persons with disabilities (PwD) candidates.

As we move toward a more just and equitable future, significant long-term changes are expected to take root. Our activities designed to achieve our DEIJ goals focus on promoting systemic change and providing opportunities for growth while removing structural barriers.

This work is ongoing and allows for the establishment of a culture of belonging and respect among faculty, staff, students, and the broader community. Everyone is welcome to join us on this journey to share their perspectives and make a difference.
