Welcome from the Acting Associate Dean  

The Information School is working toward a more just world by dismantling institutional barriers through our research, education and daily work. We go beyond supporting intersectional identities, striving to confront and take action against any expressions of racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia, religious discrimination, or any other instances of bias, microaggresions and discrimination to build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive School and community. We are committed to cultivating a multicultural experience for faculty, staff, and students to incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout their lives within the School and beyond.
