We are committed to making our school a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
All people have a place in the School of Natural Resources.
Not only are diversity and inclusion supported by federal law, but practicing these ideas, and putting them to work, helps create a more robust, productive and creative environment.
We invite you to join our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Together, we can make our school, our college, and our university a better, brighter place.

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same. – Anne Frank
