Training Diversity and Disabilities
The UCLA Post Graduate Training Program in Psychoneuroimmunology and Mental Health is committed to diversity as an integral part of the Center’s mission. We maintain the message of our Chancellor who states that:
“Diversity is a core value of UCLA. IT enables us to provide the kind of broad, enriching educational experience for which the University has long been known. (As) a public institution, our students, faculty and staff must reflect the broad diversity of the state of California. We take great pride in the many backgrounds represented on our campus. UCLA has a great legacy of preparing leaders from all segments of society who have gone on to make significant contributions all over the world. We are deeply committed to ensuring the continued diversity of our campus. We will do whatever we can, legally and appropriately, to preserve and expand the diverse nature of our University community.”

Additionally, the Center creates a community and an open and accommodating environment for individuals with both permanent and temporary disabilities to thrive. We strive to provide individuals with the tools by which they can accomplish their academic career goals by, for example the implementation of universal design practices.
