Diversity & Inclusion: “WE WELCOME” Posters & Graphics
Post this sign on your website or in your campus or clinical space to affirm that all are welcome here.
Resource unavailable or under review
New resources with WashU Medicine branding are being developed. Check back for ongoing updates. Items for broad distribution should be discussed with the Brand & Marketing team to find the most effective interim solution.
Departments, offices and other groups at the School of Medicine are encouraged to post official “WE WELCOME” posters and graphics in their physical spaces and on their websites.
The poster was developed in collaboration with the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. It boldly states that Washington University School of Medicine welcomes people of all races, ethnicities, religions, countries of origin, sexual orientations, genders, ages and abilities.
It is available in multiple sizes and formats.
Posters to print for your office, clinic or lab
The poster is available in multiple sizes with the Physicians or School of Medicine logo. Use the Physicians logo version if posting in a patient-facing environment.
Graphics for your website or social media feed
The digital graphic is available in multiple sizes so you can choose the most legible format for the intended placement.
All formats — include alt text for accessibility
Because the text of this image is locked up in a graphic, people using screen readers may rely on alt text to know what it says. Make the full text accessible to people with visual disabilities by using the alt text field (or the post description on social media).
