The DEI Committee Needs Your Opinions

The SHP Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is interested in your thoughts. Back in June, we released a survey to 1) better identify the characteristics and priorities of our faculty, staff and students; and 2) solicit your opinions/ideas about moving DEI forward in SHP. We have a brief, confidential survey - it should take less than 10 minutes - that is open until November 27, 2019. We encourage anyone who has not completed the survey to please do so now.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

In 2018, the UAB School of Health Professions formed a school-wide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee made up of faculty, staff and students. Together, they work collaboratively to promote these areas within the school and build capacity for embracing these concepts among our colleagues as well as our alumni.

SHP Today and Tomorrow

We interviewed students, faculty, and staff about the School's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to learn where we are today as well as how we can improve every day moving forward. Please click the video below to see where we are today and where we are going tomorrow.

Moving Forward

As we move forward, there are two major activities that are part of the School's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts.

1. Launch Events: The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee will host several launch events to personally engage all school faculty, staff, and students in our efforts and activities. Our first event was held on March 6 and was a huge success. Be on the lookout for the announcement of our upcoming events.
2. Online Needs Assessment: Our questionnaire will explore Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion topics to identify issues in need of attention throughout the school.

Thank you!

In advance of all these actions, we thank you for your participation and your support - but most of all - we thank you for your commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the university, school, program, and personal level.
