The Department of Biomedical Engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis is committed to fostering opportunity, fairness, and an inclusive space to learn and work.

Mission statement

Our community represents different races, cultures, philosophies, disabilities, socioeconomic backgrounds, geography, genders and sexual orientations. In all our pursuits, we believe that each member of our community contributes to innovation, enhanced education, engagement, excellence and meaning. We want to ensure that our students, faculty and staff will not suffer lost opportunity because of who they are or what they believe, and will confront inequalities and biases by considering steps to address their impact in our community and beyond.
