Research Environment

It is my mission to prioritize building a strong sense of community and collaboration. We must value and respect all members equally, recognizing that everyone, regardless of experience, brings valuable insights. During group meetings, we must aim for concise comments to encourage active participation without interruptions or disagreements. My goal is to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow. We must encourage all members to assist each other, sharing experiences and resources. Exclusionary comments, jokes, or violent language are not tolerated. We expect respectful communication, considering preferred pronouns and avoiding misgendering. We must be mindful of the impact of your words on others. Offensive behavior related to any aspect of identity is not acceptable.

Moreover, DePaul University has a lot to offer. It is at the center of downtown Chicago, which is ranked as the number-1 best cities in the USA.
