Our Mission
The Office of Research and Faculty Diversity, on behalf of the College and Graduate School of Education, Health, and Human Services, commits itself and its resources to the advancement of quality research conducted at our college, as well as the procurement of a more diverse faculty. It is our belief that the concepts of research and diversity are not just complimentary, but rather the practice of each is interwoven and integral to the other. As such, we dedicate ourselves to recruiting and retaining a faculty diverse in cultural and life experiences. Furthermore, we aim to build upon our strong research background through the contribution of a diverse faculty with unique experiences and varied research interests and expertise, and to assist faculty in obtaining any information they may need regarding research procedures, protocol, and funding.
