Below is a statement prepared by several ESE students last week. The PGSG can send it out on Wednesday in their regular announcement email. I would like to make sure everyone is OK with this coming from ESE as
a whole. I will assume you support it unless you tell me otherwise. Thank you.
“We, the Ecological Sciences and Engineering (ESE) Interdisciplinary Graduate Program, wish to express our complete condemnation of groups that promote racism and hate
on our campus. It is our belief that Purdue University benefits from a racially and culturally diverse student body, and nowhere is this truer than in ESE. Diversity enriches our educational, cultural, and social experiences, making us better scholars and
better people. Recognizing the importance of our differences cultivates shared values that define the ESE community. As a program, we extend our full support to all members of our community and affirm that you are valued and respected here, at Purdue.”
