“The history and experiences of people of diverse backgrounds has made America the greatest country in the world. While recent events have caused us to pause and reflect on our own morality, my actions will always reflect the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for every human being. And so, our department celebrates the diversity of our staff. We believe our diversity gives us a competitive advantage in recruiting and retaining talent. We believe our diversity encourages a more inclusive environment. We believe our diversity increases our economic value to the university and the greater South Florida area. Finally, we believe that our diversity helps us be more culturally competent and responsive to current events. People. Culture. Economics. Education. These are the pillars of focus in our pursuit of inclusive excellence.”
