Diversity at the University of Oregon—all kinds of diversity: racial, socio-economic, cultural, gender, religious, and more—shapes and strengthens our community. Diversity is essential to the educational and research missions of University of Oregon. I have seen the value and impact of diverse perspectives in my own scholarly work. I am passionate about the institution’s commitment to a diverse community and an inclusive, welcoming environment for learning, teaching, and expression.
