Committee on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (CEDI)
CEDI was established as a standing committee in 2013. It is composed of the College of Pharmacy faculty, staff, and students who work cooperatively to achieve the collegiate mission and goals on equity, diversity and inclusion.
Research in Diverse and Minority Populations
Our research educates people whose health is influenced by these research areas to actively make decisions about their health outcomes and creates connections and advances knowledge into other research areas to improve health outcomes for all populations.
Affinity Groups
