Community and Belonging
The Department of Geological Sciences recognizes the importance of community and belonging in maintaining academic excellence and an intellectually and culturally enriching environment. We appreciate that this sentiment extends to different races and ethnicities, gender identities, nationalities, disabilities, and body types. As such, we expect all members of our Department to respect each other and to work to combat systemic racism and other biases. The Department’s Community and Belonging committee is actively working on initiatives to further support a welcoming and inclusive climate and to increase the diversity of our students, faculty, and staff.
Most importantly, we want to ensure that every member of our Department feels welcome, respected, and valued.
The word cloud at the top of this page was generated based on contributions from students, faculty and staff in the Department of Geological Sciences in response to the Community and Belonging Committee's intiviation to share their ideas and vision for our department.
The Geology department strives to promote an open, inclusive, and supportive environment for everyone.
If you feel we have failed in this goal, or if there are any issues or areas of concern that the Geology’s Executive Committee should be aware of, you can use the Anonymous Issue Form if you do not wish to raise the issue directly with the Department.

I tire so of hearing people say, let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day. I do not need my freedom when I’m dead. I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread.
