The Johns Hopkins Department of Biomedical Engineering is dedicated to a culture of inclusive excellence.
Inclusive excellence is a philosophical approach to higher education administration and processes that means attending to both the demographic diversity of faculty/students and the need for developing climates and cultures in institutions so that all have a chance to succeed in STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine).
At Johns Hopkins BME, we strive to create and maintain an environment in which all members of our community feel included, welcomed, and celebrated.
The sustained excellence of our BME department relies on providing an inclusive environment that welcomes and supports people with different backgrounds, experiences, and thoughts. We are dedicated to promoting principles of inclusive excellence in all aspects of our department, including teaching, research, and service. To provide everyone with an equal change to succeed, we aim to:
- Establish a supportive climate through active training, engaged discussion, and learning
- Support activities for greater social interaction, an appreciation of differences, and overall well-being
- Establish practices and policies that provide equitable environments for all, irrespective of identity
- Build strong, collaborative ties with the local Baltimore community and intentionally engage with the surrounding communities to positively impact our local society and culture
