SAMSI Diversity Statement

SAMSI is fully committed to the goal of fostering diversity in research in the mathematical sciences. Therefore we engage in a number of activities which align with the National Science Foundation's Diversity Mission Statement:

"NSF's goal is to expand the numbers and diversity of individuals - women and men, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities - engaged in the science and engineering enterprise through increased participation of underrepresented groups and institutions in all NSF programs and activities. Here underrepresented minorities include African Americans, American Indians including Native Alaskans, Hispanics and Native Pacific Islanders." (See http://www.nsf.gov/mps/dmr/diversity.jsp for further information on NSF and other programs related to diversity in the mathematical and physical sciences).
