BME Inclusion Diversity Equity and Access (IDEA) Committee

The J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering’s IDEA Committee supports efforts to promote a united departmental culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We identify related issues that need to be addressed, propose activities and practices that will improve the department culture, and collaborate with relevant groups in the department, college, and university. Our membership includes representation from faculty, staff, and students.

Inclusive Excellence is the active process of including and respecting everyone as we strive for excellence and equitable outcomes in all we do at the University of Florida. Daily actions toward Inclusive Excellence are the responsibility of every one of us.

ABCs of fostering Inclusive Excellence at UF:

• Advocate for everyone’s success.
• Be an ally to others as you partner with your colleagues on DEI work.
• Celebrate your successes!
