About
The changing nature of animal agriculture and society’s relationships with animals demands a global perspective. Thus it is critical to promote inclusive excellence in our department to enable animal scientists to be productive and responsible citizens in society. The Animal Science Inclusive Excellence committee is comprised of a group of faculty, staff, and students committed to fostering the values of inclusion, diversity and equity within the Department of Animal Science.
Our current areas of focus deal with integrating the principles of inclusive excellence into departmental teaching, research, and overall climate. See our past and current initiatives.
