Diversity Statement

The Chemistry Department at Stony Brook University (SBU) is committed to providing a safe and productive environment to all members of its community. Diversity, equity, and inclusion play a crucial role in making this possible. A diverse community allows for greater breadth of experiences and perspectives, both of which often lead to greater knowledge and understanding. An equitable environment aims to nullify systemic disadvantages and ensure fair treatment and equality of opportunity for all. Inclusion efforts create a feeling of belonging by actively inviting the contribution and participation of all people in our community. The American Chemical Society (ACS) recognizes the importance of diversity and inclusion, and their Chemist’s Code of Conduct calls on chemical professionals to treat others with respect, not engage in discrimination, and be mindful of implicit bias and unconscious bias. Thus, at SBU, we continually aim to foster an environment that respects and understands differences in race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, economic status, and other circumstances.
