CAS Inclusivity Statement

The Climate Adaptation Science (CAS) Program is committed to diversity, inclusion, and equity in our curriculum, classrooms, and beyond. We welcome Diversity, the variety of experiences, values, and perspectives that reflect our diverse financial situations, race, ethnicity, gender, culture, religion, language, ability, sexuality, legal status, age, national origin, and other factors. We support Inclusion through our respect for diverse perspectives and backgrounds. We seek Equity through our commitment to social justice and recognition of historical and current injustices.

We recognize that systemic oppression, uneven challenges, and unequal opportunities occur in our society, in science, and in our university. We strive to listen to and learn from all, to break down barriers to participation and achievement, and to work for an inclusive and diverse student body, faculty, and interdisciplinary CAS community.

We affirm our commitment to recognize you as the individuals you are and to support as best we can your paths to your personal and professional goals.
