From GSBS “We stand with the black community and are pained by the recent killing of George Floyd and what it represents. During these challenging times, the Graduate School wants to affirm its commitment to the inclusion and equality of the community we serve. We embrace their many interconnections of citizenship, race, ethnicity, ability, s*x, gender identity/expression, orientation, religion, age, socioeconomic, family, and military status of our many members. We acknowledge our differences and know that it is our unique perspectives, experiences, and identities that make the GSBS an enriching place for education and research that attracts such a diverse population. We ask that you, as a member of the GSBS community, help us and each other strive to consistently excel in making our school a welcoming place for all. The GSBS invites you to participate in the GSA Town Hall – “A conversation on race, hope, and healing” on Thursday at 3 p.m. (go.uth.edu/GSBSgsa-tw-j20). We hope you can attend and we look forward to hearing your voices and concerns.”
