Department of Microbiology Diversity Statement The Department of Microbiology at the University of Georgia strives to provide all of its students, postdocs, faculty and staff an open and inclusive environment that fosters participation, collaboration and scientific excellence amongst all its members. To help achieve our goals, we meet monthly to create opportunities for increasing interactions across the campus, organize events to celebrate all community members, and provide venues to readily access exemplary role models.
