School of Human Environmental Sciences DEI Mission:
The School of Human Environmental Sciences (HESC) in the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences strives to be nationally recognized for its efforts in strengthening diversity, recruiting and retaining a diverse student body, building cultural competency, and most importantly serving as a resource for faculty, staff and students within the units of HESC as it seeks to enhance our land-grant mission of teaching, research, service and extension to Arkansans.
