Information Systems Analyst Minh Tran immigrated from Vietnam to the U.S. in 1994 as a focused, 21-year-old determined to earn a higher education. He soon enrolled at Christopher Newport University and turned his attention to a burgeoning new area of study: computer science.
Jefferson Lab is committed to promoting a diverse, equitable, inclusive and accessible workplace for all employees and scientific users. We believe in fostering a psychologically safe culture in which everyone is respected and empowered to be their authentic self. We aim to build a sustainable workforce to promote innovation by attracting and retaining a diverse group of people to the lab and supporting their ongoing development.
JLab Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) Council
The DEIA Council is chartered, and its members appointed, by the Director of the Laboratory. It is the primary body responsible for advising the Director and senior leadership on subjects related to Diversity and Inclusion.
To address these goals, the Council will seek ways to maximize the creativity, communication, & collaboration among diverse Lab contributors; with particular attention to recruiting, retaining, and developing STEM women and minorities throughout the Laboratory.
