Diversity & Inclusion

The University of Maine’s Department of Physics and Astronomy affirms our commitment to fostering equity, inclusion, and diversity and thereby providing a supportive and open learning environment. We know that diversity, including culture, ethnicity, disability status, gender identity, national origin, political belief, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status, makes us stronger. Without acknowledging and embracing diversity, it is impossible to build a comprehensive understanding of the universe, a core endeavor of physics and astronomy.
