Our Impact

---

We are committed to delivering robust support to graduate students in the hazards and disaster field to build a future cohort of professionals, mentors, academics, and researchers who can address inequities and make fair and swift response possible for our communities. Our initial focus is on delivering robust professional development support to minority graduate students who are historically underrepresented in careers related to hazards and disasters. Our work empowers the diverse next generation of professionals, academics, and researchers as leaders who are well-equipped to facilitate meaningful social change on complex issues of inequity. Ultimately, our aim is to prioritize the lived experiences and expertise of marginalized communities in solidarity with their pursuit of disaster risk reduction and environmental justice.
