Why I Do DEI Work
To confront the challenges of today, diversity, equity and inclusion work is essential. Supporting and advancing DEI, specifically in higher education, breaks down barriers for all students to achieve their dreams and contribute their unique perspectives and talents to the world. At UC Davis, I am eager to collaborate with efforts to create a campus environment where every student can pursue their passions, feel a sense of belonging and be their authentic self.
