HOW DO OUR PROFESSORS EXPERIENCE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSIVITY AT THE UT?
Marieke Huisman
“I think it is a shame if someone misses opportunities based on ignorance or prejudice that it does not suit her (or him).”
Hans Hilgenkamp
“Diversity is more than having an eye for gender or cultural background. We are looking for diversity in the types of personalities as well.”
Karin Pfeffer
“There are a lot of ambitious women out there but somehow it seems they take the chance less often or are not in the position to take chances.”
Tom Veldkamp
“The international context in which we are active requires our teams be diverse. To communicate adequately with local stakeholders, for example.”
