Cultural Awareness and Mentoring Resources
The Department of Microbiology, Immunology & Molecular Genetics is committed to cultivating an inclusive environment and a culture of belonging for every member of the department regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity and expression, or cultural heritage. We are collecting resources to further those goals here, and welcome your input. To add to these resources, please send your suggestions to Dr. Ann Griffith. Additional information can also be found in the LSOM Office for Inclusion and Diversity at https://lsom.uthscsa.edu/diversity/
