Group’s statement on diversity, equity, and inclusion:

As a group, we understand and appreciate the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are creating a supporting and inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities for all students to become successful. Collectively, we strive to encourage the acceptance of all types of diversity by being great examples ourselves. Each lab member is expected to uphold values that foster a safe, healthy, and aware environment where each student can use and voice their unique experiences and opinions. Although obvious, we would like to reiterate that our group discourages discrimination of any kind.
