Diversity Statement
To achieve its mission of educating expert health care providers who can serve effectively in contemporary society, the UW Madison School of Pharmacy attracts students, staff, faculty, and administrators who reflect our diverse society, are skilled at working across lines of race, class, economics, religion, sexual identity, culture, nationality, ability and other forms of difference, and are committed to creating social justice in health care. The Director of Diversity works closely with students, faculty, and staff to promote a climate, curriculum, and community that values social inclusivity, academic excellence, and the development and skills, knowledge, and values that promote the greatest access to the highest quality health care for everyone.
Students of Color in Pharmacy
The School of Pharmacy is committed to increasing the inclusion of students from historically underrepresented ethnic minority groups in its pre-School of Pharmacy and School of Pharmacy programs. Applications from resident and nonresident African-Americans, Chicano/Chicana/Mexican-Americans, Hispanics, Native American/American Indians, Puerto Ricans, and Southeast Asians (Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian, and Vietnamese students) are encouraged.
