Diversity & Inclusion
We strive to cultivate work and learning environments that bring the power of inclusion and equity to life – where differences are celebrated, and employees of all backgrounds are empowered to thrive both professionally and personally.
What We Do

Business Resource Groups: Belonging and Business Impact
A fundamental human need, we are hard-wired to belong. When individuals don’t feel as though they belong, it directly affects our ability to advance the mission of UT Southwestern. To foster a culture of belonging, the Division of Diversity and Inclusion oversees various initiatives. One of these initiatives includes UT Southwestern’s Business Resource Groups (BRGs).
