UNITY at UCI
The Underrepresented Genders in Physics and Astronomy club (UNITY) at UC Irvine is a representative body for women and non-binary folx at the undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral levels. We strive to create a community for female and non-binary physicists that fosters support through social events, mentoring, and outreach programs. We welcome anyone who is interested in discussing topics related to underrepresented genders in physics and addressing their issues and interests within the department.

Diverse Educational Community and Doctoral Experience Program (DECADE)
The term DECADE, Diverse Educational Community and Doctoral Experience, reflects the campus aspiration to achieve diversity parity in graduate programs with undergraduate education within ten years. DECADE, founded in 2010 by Former Graduate Dean Frances Leslie, was originally funded through a Department of Education grant. The grant combined student programming with faculty mentorship in a comprehensive program to improve the overall climate in graduate education at UCI. The DECADE program is now funded by Graduate Division and the Office of Inclusive Excellence.
