The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have
engaged in to expand your understanding of DEI.
The Medical Biofilms Lab employed a number of Native American students, foreign national students and visiting
professors from other countries. This included Saudi Arabian desalinization engineers and an MD from Mexico.
Interactions included not only research work but making sure they had housing, transportation and food. As an MSU
