The Chemistry Diversity Initiative At Purdue University

The Chemistry Department of Purdue University has a rich and successful history of diversity with both our graduate students and our faculty. We have been recognized for the strong participation of underrepresented minorities in our graduate student program. We also have been a leader in the country for representation of women in our faculty. Herein we present some of the historical underpinnings of these successes, our current state of diversity, and how we can move forward for even more effective inclusiveness in the future.
