Diversity
UA Tackles Unconscious Bias
Research shows that people are swayed by unconscious biases about gender, age, ethnicity and other factors. Now the UA is working to counter these subtle influences – especially for women in the sciences. That’s one facet of the UA ADVANCE program, funded by a $3.3 million ADVANCE IT grant from the National Science Foundation.
Diversity in Action
Diversity in Action:
Many Perspectives. One University.
At the University of Arizona, diversity isn’t just about talk. It is about action. We build accessible and welcoming environments that support success. We create opportunities for engagement across communities to increase our creativity, enhance our ability to think critically, and to fully realize our leadership potential. We inspire each other to raise previously unconsidered questions in our scholarship and develop new approaches to solving some of society’s most complex problems. We are able to provide our students these skills that are crucial for today’s global marketplace, because we are one University enriched by many perspectives to achieve excellence in our teaching, research, and service.
