Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
UNMC creates an environment of diversity, equity and inclusion for all our faculty, staff and students. Our goal is an inclusive campus environment where every individual feels welcomed, valued and supported.
We provide training and development opportunities for all to cultivate the skills needed to effectively engage, communicate and collaborate with others across differences.
