A culture of excellence requires diverse perspectives and collaboration as well as input, participation and support from many different sources and viewpoints.
Just as the College of Science represents the scientific backbone of Texas A&M University, diversity and its promotion have long served as the unspoken underpinning of our core missions of teaching, research and service.
As a college, we pledge to welcome and support individuals from all backgrounds, respecting and reflecting differences in discipline, national origin, race, ethnicity, age, ability, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion and beliefs.

In an effort to improve the overall learning and working environment for all members of our College of Science community, we welcome your feedback on any aspect you think could improve learning and working environment.
The diversity committee meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at 2 p.m. If you have a question or an idea and would like to attend the meeting to discuss with the committee, please contact Dr. Derya Akleman.
