Together for Rochester
We must do more than listen to those who have been underserved for far too long. It’s time for action.
Recruiting a diverse faculty is a priority. Faculty fellows, visiting scholars, and cluster hires can create a more supportive academic environment. We need the resources to meet this objective. We also hope to increase financial aid to recruit and support a more diverse and inclusive student body.
Let’s do this.
- Mentor diverse alumni and students
- Watch a “REAL Conversations” webinar
- Join one of our three alumni affinity groups: the Black Alumni Network, the Women’s Network, and the First-Generation Network.
- Listen to the latest Insights podcast, from the Office of Equity and Inclusion
- Volunteer
- Subscribe to Encompass – an e-newsletter presented by the Office of Equity and Inclusion. View the archive of Encompass here.
- Visit the Office of Equity and Inclusion
- Make a gift to the University of Rochester Medical Center Diversity Fund
- Support the Office of Equity and Inclusion Leadership Development Fund
Representation matters
Travon Walker ’21E, an aspiring opera singer, recently launched a crowdfunding project designed to introduce middle and high school students to classical music composed by Black, Indigenous, and people of color.
