UAMS DBMI-DEI Committee Vision and Mission Statement

Vision

Our vision is to have an organizational environment that embodies a culture of inclusion within the department where all members receive equitable treatment, feel valued, and are supported in the pursuit of excellence in their endeavors, while maintaining respect for work-life balance.

Mission

It is our duty to listen, engage in dialog, advise, build relationships, and foster any needed changes, while modeling inclusive behavior in all circumstances.
