We are creating a supporting and inclusive environment that provides equal opportunities for all students to become successful. 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.
