Did you know that ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ is committed to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion? In 2020, they created a 5-yearΒ Strategic PlanΒ to increase Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion where we outline a vision of what we plan to accomplish.

Funding
Β in honour of one of ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ’s most accomplished alumni: Charles R. Drew, MDCM’33, (1904–1950) an American surgeon and scientist who earned the title β€œFather of Blood Banking” for his trailblazing work on the long-term preservation of blood plasma. The fellowships provide financial support for graduates of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to pursue graduate studies at ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ. TheΒ initiative is part of the university’sΒ Action Plan to Address Anti-Black Racism.
