​
Diversity Outreach
The Division of
Biology and Biomedical Sciences (DBBS) is committed to building and supporting
a diverse community of scholars. Thus, in addition to initiatives that promote
scientific collaboration and academic success among scientists of varied
backgrounds, faculty and staff participate in activities and programs that seek
to identify and recruit talented students to the Division. It is our hope that
our summer programs will contribute to our efforts to improve the diversity of
our scientific community, as we believe this is essential for enriching the
educational, intellectual and innovative pursuits of all of its members.
DBBS supports a
number of educational, cultural and enrichment programs including the
Association of Black Biomedical Graduate Students (ABBGS), the Association of
Women in Science (AWIS), the Graduate Association of Latin American Students
(GALAS), the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Network (OUTgrads),
and Connections (Student Families to support diversity).
We are also
interested in sharing our philosophies regarding graduate education with other
biomedical research communities and would welcome opportunities to visit your
campus to invite discussion via seminars and workshops. If you are interested
in hosting a campus visit, please contact Andrew Richards, Director of
Recruitment, at (314) 362-7743 or toll-free at 1-800-852-9074 or dbbs-recruitment@email.wustl.edu.
If you would
