Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
The POM Research Lab is a healthy environment where everyone respectfully collaborates. All members are entitled to equitable opportunities and learning environments to foster inclusivity and celebrate diversity. The directors at the POM Research Lab believe that education’s inherited misconception of “one size fits all” is gravely flawed. The directors do their best to be as sensitive and alert to their students’ needs and mitigate any barriers their researchers could be facing and interfering with their abilities to achieve their full potential.Office hours / GA / TA:
In respect of other lab members' need for a quiet research-conducive environment, anyone engaging in GA/TA hours and/or office hours, etc., should ensure that the meeting designated for your office hours is NOT in any of the LAB FACILITIES Labs.
