Dear Geography Students:
I would like to draw your attention to the message below from Dean Lee. She identifies some resources for students in need while also reaffirming the College’s
commitment and her own for diversity, inclusion, and the general support of students. Dean Lee was one of the major reasons that I came to UT, and her statement speaks to a vision, compassion, and ethics that I saw (and continue to see) now 4 plus years later.
Allow me to offer my own help to any student in our program as we come to grips with ongoing debates, unrests, and a new political order. I and the whole Department of Geography remain deeply devoted to making UT a better and more socially just place.
Best wishes,
Derek
