The Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Long-Term Ecological Research (GCE-LTER) program is committed to sustaining and enhancing diversity within our ranks. The GCE-LTER Diversity Plan is based on and consistent with the key goals of the University of Georgia's Diversity Plan (https://diversity.uga.edu/about/inclusive_excellence_plan/).

The overarching goal of the University of Georgia's Diversity Plan is to sustain and enhance a learning and work environment that is diverse and inclusive, where individual differences are valued and serve as a source for collective empowerment. UGA embraces diversity in all forms at all its locations, with the goal of creating an inclusive environment where all persons of the University community are respected. Diversity includes, but is not limited to, groups defined by race, nationality, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, language, religion, disability and/or health status, gender identity/expression, veteran status, geographic origins, and socio-economic status.
