The CVMBS is committed to a climate where all students, staff, faculty, and administrators feel that they are treated respectfully and are fully accepted and valued for who they are.

The purpose of our monthly newsletter is to consistently share information in four areas: 1) Our Ongoing Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion, 2) Resources to Support a Commitment to Continuous Learning, 3) Diversity & Inclusion Events, and 4) Diversity & Inclusion Reflections.

Articles appearing in the CVMBS Diversity & Inclusion Digest are archived at the CVMBS D&I Blog.
