It is a well-established fact that diverse teams are more productive and creative. Science and society always stand to gain from diversity of thoughts and perspectives. Therefore, it is our moral imperative to discourage any form of discrimination (race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, language, abilities, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and national origin).  

Rajat’s cultural ideology has been built on a lifetime of international experiences. While growing up, he was surrounded by cultures different from his own, which encouraged him to appreciate both the similarities and differences of all the communities. As a part of his commitment to diversity and inclusion, Rajat had spent a significant time working in the different international student organizations (OCDC & ADSE), organizing STEM night and other outreach initiatives. Rajat will always be committed to creating and fostering an inclusive and non-discriminative environment where everyone feels respected and valued.
