Values

Diversity & Inclusion

In our lab we strive to achieve a diverse, equal and included community where everyone is appreciated and valued. We reject behaviors that hinder the ability of people to flourish and reach their dreams and full potential.

Personal values

We treasure altruism, listening, awareness, compassion, respect, humility, empathy, generosity, courage and leadership, within and outside our lab.

Land acknowledgement

We acknowledge the land on which we are gathered. For thousands of years, this land has been the home of Patwin people. Today, there are three federally recognized Patwin tribes: Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian Community, Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, and Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation. The Patwin people have remained committed to the stewardship of this land over many centuries. It has been cherished and protected, as elders have instructed the young through generations. We are honored and grateful to be here today on their traditional lands.

Professional values

Honesty, transparency, accountability, curiosity, commitment, participation and subsidiarity are professional and academic values we cherish and pursue.
