Welcome Message from Vice Chancellor Chia Youyee Vang

I am honored to serve the diverse community at UWM as Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion during this unprecedented moment in the history of our nation. As our country confronts a global pandemic and the deep racial, social, political, and cultural divisions, many on our campus have come together and work collectively to address these challenges. The Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and our campus partners have engaged in ongoing reflection and self-assessment of our campus climate. We have had conversations and have taken some concrete steps but we are not where we need to be. The difficult realities that we face require that each of us join in efforts to build a campus community where everyone can thrive. I invite you to read highlights from our recent annual reports.
