This page is under construction. Please stay tuned.

Our Mission

At AIfA, we value diversity and inclusion and strive to be a welcoming, caring, and equitable community where students, staff, and faculty with different backgrounds, perspectives, abilities, and experiences can thrive in an environment of respect, and feel empowered to engage in any community conversation.

The AIfA DEI committee is committed to fostering a culture in which every member of the institute feels respected, valued and supported. The committee plays an active role in shaping the institute’s policies, organizes social events, and provides opportunities for members of the department to learn about issues related to diversity and inclusion in academic and research settings.
