Gabbi Horsford's position as DEI coordinator for our department is supported by Medtronic.
In a newly created role at the University of Minnesota Department of Biomedical Engineering, Gabbi Horsford develops programs and policies that elevate diversity, equity and inclusivity throughout the department.
This includes increasing the number of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color undergraduate and graduate students to proportionally reflect Minnesota's population.
In a Q&A with the College of Science and Engineering, Horsford discusses her priorities, the importance of DEI in science and technology fields, and the impact she hopes to have on the BME community.
