Diversity & Inclusion

At the University of Kansas Medical Center, we believe diversity and inclusion are integral values that guide the way we envision our future. Our strategic initiatives to integrate diversity, cultural competence and inclusion across the medical center campus are underway.

The EVC's Diversity and Inclusion Cabinet is comprised of dedicated and passionate faculty, staff, students and community members. The cabinet assumes responsibility for campus activities and goals related to diversity and inclusion, including efforts that address cultural competency, equity, civility and professionalism, and advises the Executive Vice Chancellor on related matters. Cabinet and sub-committee meetings are open to all faculty, staff and students.

More information is available on SharePoint and myKUMC.  Click here to join the email list.
