Recognizing and celebrating the many faces of UTHealth Houston, our mission is to infuse diversity, equity, and inclusion into all aspects of our educational, clinical, and research endeavors, and to ensure an inclusive and equitable environment for all learners, faculty, and staff.
Our five guiding principles:
Foster a culture where every voice is welcome, heard, and respected.
Affirm diversity, understanding, accepting, and embracing our differences.
Create an inclusive environment that respects the unique characteristics, skills, and experiences of all learners, faculty, and staff.
Empower individuals to promote diversity and inclusion.
Strive toward equity for all.
As the many faces of UTHealth Houston, our vision is to build and nurture an inclusive culture that celebrates, encourages, and supports the diversity of all our learners, faculty, and staff. This culture is woven into every element of university activity – from policy creation and community.
The 'Many Faces of UTHealth’ is more than a phrase or a slogan – it represents every student and trainee, every researcher, educator, and clinician, and every member of our staff. As we work together to identify and address health disparities, promote health equity, and provide exceptional health care for all, we are committed to maintaining an inclusive environment for each individual who makes UTHealth Houston an exceptional place to work and to learn.
