Diversity and inclusion are core values of the UW–Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS). We strive to make our climate the best it can be for all students, faculty and staff, and we are committed to offering an excellent learning and work environment.

To that end, the CALS leadership team fully supports the UW–Madison’s institutional statement on diversity. We believe diversity is a source of strength, creativity and innovation for campus, and we value and respect what each person brings to the table, including faculty, staff and students from historically underrepresented groups. At CALS, we acknowledge that bias, prejudice, racism and hate have historically occurred in many forms that cause significant and lasting harm to members of our community. We commit to taking actions each day toward a college that is inclusive and welcoming to all. Learn more about the CALS commitment to end racism and hate.

We all share the responsibility of making this a welcoming and inclusive environment, and we encourage community members to challenge themselves to get engaged and better understand the issues. Below are links to CALS and campus resources related to diversity and inclusion efforts:
