DEI Initiatives

Pathways

We believe in creating more opportunities for current and prospective TUC students. We believe that deep cultural legacy and generational resiliency needs to be honored. We believe that change needs to be created by cultural humility with unbiased care. To construct and expand platforms for systemically marginalized voices in all spaces is not only important but critical for healing and change.

Intersectionality

Our office is open to administer training and educational sessions to help groups within TUC embrace and understand differing perspectives for an inclusive environment.

Connection

Our office is open to developing new programs and practices that effectively increase diversity, equity, and inclusion while actively providing support and collaboration to various groups within TUC. We implore you to check out our many student clubs to see what shared space you find in TUC communities. We also offer student support services through the counseling and student health center.

Innovation

We always want to better understand how to support vulnerable populations through the first door of their health professional career, right here at TUC. We look forward to being in the first hand coordination to corporate, involving bigger agencies in boosting support for graduate students. To create diverse, equitable, and inclusive legacies of staff, faculty, and students from Touro University California to health care.
