Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity Statement

The Todd lab is fully committed to providing a diverse, inclusive, and supportive environment for underrepresented minority groups. This view is fully supported by the University of Michigan, its medical school, and the Department of Neurology as well as affiliated training programs. We feel that excellence in Research, Teaching, and Service allied with excellence in Leadership and Mentoring can only be sustained by championing efforts in Diversity and Inclusion. Active and designed efforts in Diversity and Inclusion will allow us to:

  • Stimulate and share multiple ways of thinking, fostering creativity and innovation

  • Recruit talents from distinct groups

  • Exercise dialogue and respect among distinct groups

  • Value multiple stories and deconstruct stereotypes

  • Foster and advance leadership and mentoring

  • Represent the interests of multiple groups
