UMass Medical School hires diversity and inclusion head
UMass Medical School has hired a new vice chancellor for diversity and inclusion, the Worcester school announced Friday.
Marlina Duncan joins UMass Medical School from Brown University in Providence, where she's the assistant vice president of academic diversity in the school's Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity. She was also Brown's associate dean of diversity initiatives in its graduate school, and previously directed diversity initiatives, education and outreach programs at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, a biomedical research center jointly operated by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In Duncan's new role at UMass, she will oversee the diversity and inclusion office, and partner with diversity leaders across its academic schools, business units, and academic and administrative departments, UMass said. Her work will include ensuring goals outlined in the school's 2025 strategic plan are met.
Duncan has a doctorate of science education degree from UMass Amherst.
