Are you interested in taking action to make UNC Lineberger a more diverse, equitable and inclusive institution? Join the Equity Council!

Samuel Cykert, MD, talks to CNN about racial disparities in breast cancer in the United States.

One year ago, the UNC Lineberger Equity Council met for the first time with the charge to direct the cancer center’s commitment to grow and sustain a more diverse and inclusive research, clinical and working environment.

UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center is leading the way in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts.

UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center has appointed Wendy Brewster, MD, PhD, as associate director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Our full Equity Council will develop DEI recommendations, oversee implementation efforts, and provide a mechanism for ongoing accountability.

Following the Leveling Session, Dr. Stroman will facilitate a series of smaller, interactive listening sessions to dive deeper into diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at UNC Lineberger and the N.C. Cancer Hospital.

The UNC Lineberger Equity Council is pleased to announce a two-part series in response to the comments and suggestions heard during our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Town Hall in October 2020. The series will help expand our understanding and foster dialogue about the challenges and opportunities we face as we seek to promote diversity, equity and inclusion at UNC Lineberger and the N.C. Cancer Hospital.
