The Department of Chemistry at Boston College is committed to creating and supporting an inclusive and diverse community of students, faculty, and staff within our department. The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Respect (DEIR) committee was created to provide a forum for conversations, education and mentoring to further enrich our community. We welcome and encourage people of all backgrounds to join our department and promote our mission of diversity, inclusivity and equity within Boston College and the greater scientific community.
