Diversity and Inclusion
The School of Neuroscience feels strongly that inclusion and diversity are values that we promote and hold in the highest regards. First and foremost, the School of Neuroscience supports freedom of speech and values the opinions and thoughts of everyone. Our program adamantly declares that we do not tolerate acts of racial misconduct and condemn inappropriate behavior!
