We stand with all oppressed minorities and will continue to work diligently to abolish systemic racism and wholly embrace equity, diversity and inclusivity.
Led by Dr. Vivian Mushahwar, the iSMART is proud to be established on the foundation of diversity and equality.
We are a multi-disciplinary team that celebrates each member’s unique set of knowledge, expertise and perspective and are a stronger network because of these individual differences.
We are proud role models of inclusivity and will continue to uphold these principles.
