Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry’s Commitment to Diversity:
Adopted in Spring 2024
Chemistry is a central science, driven by its most central resource: people. Our department is a community of scientists, students, professionals, and stakeholders that celebrates all identities. We value each of our perspectives, and we strive to foster an inclusive and respectful space for everyone. To create and sustain such an environment, we commit to inclusive excellence, and holding ourselves and each other accountable to CSU’s Principles of Community, as we shape and strengthen Colorado State University’s teaching, research, service, and engagement missions.
