This week, a number of our faculty, students and alumni will be virtually attending and presenting at the American Society for Bioethics and the Humanities annual conference. The conference connects individuals and groups across many disciplines, all with interest in clinical and academic bioethics and health-related humanities.

I, Gerard Vong, Director of the MA in Bioethics Program, am commemorating Juneteenth by learning how to better teach my children about racism and the importance of being antiracist. It is important to me that these issues are dealt with by an ongoing set of actions, and are not just considered on important days such as this one. In that vein, I am continuing work on systematic improvements in the bioethics program such as diversifying syllabi and increasing scholarship support. I welcome your input and collaboration going forward.
