John N. Louie, Ph.D. unequivocally rejects white supremacy, racism, anti-Semitism, and all forms of hate, bias, and bigotry. I endeavor to dismantle racism and prejudice everywhere I work, worship, and recreate; in my communities; and in society as part of all of our shared efforts to elevate humanity. I am committed to creating campus, faith, scientific, and engineering communities that value equity and access, where all can work and learn freely, safely, and productively, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, national or regional origin, citizenship status, sexual orientation, gender identity, political affiliation, economic status, veteran status, or ability. I have much to learn, and I will work to elevate minority and indigenous voices. I am most grateful for my opportunities to live and work on the lands of the Chumash, Tongva, Susquehannock, Numu, Nuwu/Nuwuvi, Newe, Wašiw/Wašišiw, and Maori peoples.
