The Office of Diversity Equity, and Inclusion leads efforts to ensure that students, faculty, and staff feel included, valued, and empowered at NYU Dentistry. We work with all members of the community to promote representation, belonging, and equity through policies, best practices, and educational programs. Central to our mission is an understanding that our diverse population comes with unique experiences, varied backgrounds, and different perspectives, which provide us with a valuable opportunity to deliver the best services to our patients.
