Diversity Makes Better Science

The University of Michigan is committed to diversity and strives to create an academic community that is representative of the global society. Our research is composed of scientists from all cultural, ethnic, gender, and socioeconomic backgrounds. PIBS values the contributions of this diverse group, not only as they impact our scientists-in-training, but also for the real potential that their work can improve the health of traditionally underrepresented and disadvantaged populations around the world.

The end result is that we have a learning environment that supports all of our students as they pursue their studies.

On-campus resources include:
Association of Multicultural Scientists
Biomedical Graduate Student Council
The Students of Color of Rackham

PIBS also works closely with the Medical School Diversity & Career Development Office and the Rackham Office of Graduate Student Success to ensure our students' needs are met throughout their academic pursuits.
