Our Commitment to Diversity & Equity

The Department of Communication continually strives for an intellectually vibrant community committed to all dimensions of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We encourage diversity in our perspectives and scholarship, we pursue equity in our shared decision making, and we promote inclusion in the classroom, laboratory, and broader community. In doing so, we affirm our shared duty to uphold the values expressed in the University of California, Davis Principles of Community, grounded in our recognition of the dignity inherent in every human being.
