Diversity
The Department of Plant Pathology, along with the College and University, is committed to respecting and celebrating all. Our race, gender, orientation, culture and background shape our perspectives, life experiences and personal identity. We understand diversity as including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, language, culture, religion, mental and physical ability, age, socio-economic status, citizenship status, national origin, and immigration status.
Our Plant Pathology graduate students, staff, and faculty participate in K-State programs and activities that promote an inclusive environment. We work with many of the programs and offices at K-State especially through our College of Agriculture Diversity Programs Office

We believe our collective mission is best accomplished when every member of the University community acknowledges and practices our University Principles of Community.
