Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Supporting our LGBTQIA+ Community
C-Hub is committed to supporting our LGBTQIA+ community at OIST and beyond. Creating an inclusive climate in our laboratories, offices, social spaces, and our interactions across the university is essential for the well-being and success of all individuals. While LGBTQIA+ acceptance and rights have continued to make progress, many still encounter discrimination, bias, and challenges.
Below is a starting point of resources for all of us to continue learning how we can affirm and actively support our LGBTQIA+ members.
