The DRIVE (Diversity, Representation, and Inclusion for Value in Education) Team hosts weekly “DRIVE-in” cafes where students, staff and faculty discuss and impact diversity and inclusion in teaching and learning across our campus. Please join us, all are welcome!
Every Monday from 12:00PM-1:00PM, a different school from UMass Chan will co-host the DRIVE-in café and ALL ARE WELCOME at any of the Monday sessions.
- The 1st Monday of the Month will have representation from the Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences

Our monthly topic for October 2023 will be: "Building a Diverse Panel"
DRIVE is a shared effort across UMass Chan including the Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing, T.H. Chan School of Medicine, Diversity and Inclusion Office, Lamar Soutter Library, and Continuing and Graduate Medical Education.
The goals of the DRIVE Initiative are:
- To promote a representative and bias-free curriculum across our learning environments
- To enhance the accuracy, representation, and inclusion of diverse populations in all our educational activities
- To make space for critical conversations about diversity in teaching and learning across our community.
