We encourage inclusion of all members of the SGU community in both academic and non-academic activities.
Diversity Is In The University鈥檚 Core DNA
This has聽been a time of reflection for many of us. Recent events, including the tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and聽Ahmaud聽Arbery, have prompted important, enriching discussions internally and on a wider scale surrounding discrimination and racial inequality. We are all considering measures that we can take as people and as a society to address longstanding legacies of discrimination and make the world a better place for all, especially in black and other minority communities.
SGU is a global community of all races, colors, creeds, religions, and nationalities, and this diversity is at the very foundation of our and our students’ success.聽Our students and graduates are taking these values with them to serve the health and welfare of our community members in need.
We聽are proud of our heritage聽as聽a聽strong聽champion for the non-traditional聽medical school聽student, and聽have team members around the world聽continuing to work聽to enhance the student experience聽in this regard.
As Chancellor Modica stated in his commencement address, diversity is in the University鈥檚 鈥渃ore DNA,鈥 and we continue that legacy by embracing individuals whose cultural backgrounds聽strengthen聽not only聽our school,聽but聽also聽the聽communities聽they聽serve around the聽world.

A Commitment to Diversity in Medicine
Greater diversity within the U.S. physician workforce is crucial to boosting health outcomes and access to care. To align our nation’s doctors with our nation’s patients, we must ensure that more non-traditional students have the opportunity to pursue careers in medicine.
There’s a significant need for “more robust policies and programs to create a physician workforce that is demographically representative of the U.S. population.”1
International medical schools are well-suited to heed that call. They have a history of training physicians from a range of diverse backgrounds, many of whom are U.S. citizens who choose to go abroad for their degrees.

They designed the video to聽show that black men are dynamic and not limited to the societal perceptions placed upon them.聽The power to surpass all barriers and realize聽迟丑别颈谤听true potential for greatness.聽It is聽a call to action.
