Welcome
The Office of Student Diversity and Enrichment encourages and promotes an environment at the USF College of Medicine that welcomes and embraces diversity in the student body. We strive to ensure that all students feel supported and accepted in order to optimize their educational experience.
The educational mission of all health professions schools is to provide the opportunity for all students to succeed. An essential aspect of the institutional climate is the provision of accessible, well-developed minority support services that promote a welcoming atmosphere and enhance opportunities for minority student success. To this end, institutions must make meaningful investments in broad spectrum of essential programming, including academic enrichment and mentoring, and ensure that these services are available to all students. Institutions should undertake activities geared toward the development and strengthening of a diverse and welcoming institutional climate.
