Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness

The department is actively seeking to add diversity by increasing the ratio of women to men in the pool of faculty. In our most recent job search 3 of 4 of our finalists were women. In the prior few years we added a tenured female faculty member increasing our female percentage by 100%.Our program has the highest volume of women in our Graduate Student population to date, with a highly outstanding and achieving student among that group.
