The NACS DEI Committee seeks to advocate for and support individuals historically excluded from scientific or academic opportunities on the basis of their ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, first-generation, and /or disability status. Our committee aims to support these individuals by 1) providing NACS-related research opportunities at the undergraduate level, 2) expanding program recruitment efforts, 3) improving accessibility of NACS-related resources, 4) advocating for policies that support full inclusion within the NACS community, and 5) implementing methods to document the diversity of our NACS community.
