Celebrate Black History Month at UC
February 8, 2021
UC offers an annual series of programs, lectures, and events that encourage our community to honor, celebrate and reflect on the university's rich history of Black leaders.
Dear CAHS Community:
The College of Allied Health Sciences has been working on many levels the past months in response to the escalation in racial inequities that have shaken our society and CAHS community. We continue to stand firmly against racism in any form and we thank you for inspiring our continued call to action.
One of the college’s Strategic Goals includes focused efforts around diversity and inclusion (located below) and our recent work seeks to not only reaffirm our commitment to the tenets of this goal, but also outline next steps to the members of the CAHS community.
“Goal 5 – CAHS will foster a culture of inclusion and community to attract diverse students, faculty, and staff whose knowledge, skill and perspectives enhance their ability to provide health care, education and social services.”
The following are some of the plans related to Goal 5 that are in progress at the college and departmental levels. This is not an all-inclusive list but provides insight on the initiatives that are in progress:
Undergraduate Level
Graduate Level
I am proud of the continued work of our CAHS and UC Community. We will continue to provide regular updates to inform, engage and encourage feedback on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
We encourage you to get involved in DEI efforts going on within the university, your community, place of employment, or alongside your professional organizations/affinity groups. You can also get involved in CAHS specific DEI initiatives through mentoring opportunities and more. Reach out to Monica Wilkins, Director of Diversity Initiatives and Recruitment at monica.wilkins@uc.edu if you are interested in getting involved.
Best regards,

Inclusive excellence
More than simply a metric, inclusion is the driving force behind the University of Cincinnati’s strategic direction, Next Lives Here. By activating inclusion, the university amplifies its impact.

As UC reaches Cincinnati Decision Day on Feb. 5 — when thousands of students find out if they’ve been admitted to the university to pursue their studies — the numbers reveal that the institution is more popular than ever.
