Diversity in Action
Our Commitment
The UIC School of Public Health is committed to diversity in its many forms. By celebrating the unique contributions of students, faculty, and staff, we foster a more enriching learning environment and a truly global community. As part of this commitment, we offer support programs for students in underrepresented populations from elementary school to graduate programs. To assist students with the financial demands of their education, we also provide several scholarships. Beyond student support, our commitment to diversity extends to the research and service of our faculty, staff, and students.
