The College of Science Office of Academic Innovation and Engagement is committed to fostering exemplary educational and professional opportunities that support individuals from all backgrounds, regardless of race, class, gender, ethnicity, religion, accessibility, or socioeconomic status. We firmly believe that the College’s mission to serve as the primary intellectual resource for Louisiana is intimately tied to our ability to support the recruitment, retention, and advancement of individuals that make up the rich cultural heritage of our great state.

We recognize that our science benefits from a wide range of viewpoints, experiences, and perspectives, and that the promotion of inclusive excellence is key to all that we do.
