RPI’s Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy Department is committed to building a safe, diverse, equitable, and inclusive community.
We believe that empowering all members of the department –students, staff, and faculty – is crucial to fostering the best possible learning and working environment for all.
We stand for the acceptance of all, and pledge to fight discrimination of underrepresented groups, regardless of their background.
The DEI taskforce has developed an action plan to incorporate these ideals into every aspect of Department life.
All the ways we differ make us special. Our diversity is not to be shunned, but to be celebrated.
We believe one's identity cannot predict — or determine — one's outcomes. Fair treatment, access, opportunity and advancement is a right for all people.
We are part of the same human family, and that family includes every one of us. We believe that a variety of people should have the opportunity to have a voice and decision-making authority.
