Diversity

Successfully addressing the core challenges concerning marine management in an appropriate social, cultural, and economic context requires that we recruit, train, retain, and mentor diverse cohorts of trainees. We welcome applications from students from a range of educational, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds and traditions. We uphold the UC Davis Principles of Community and commit to fostering an academic environment that supports the success of all members of our community because this diversity strengthens and enriches our research, scholarship, and teaching.
