Host a Diversity-Themed DOMINOs Gathering Near You!

Each month, the Department of Medicine Informal Networking Opportunities (DOMINOs) program funds several in-person gatherings across the Bay Area. These events are excellent opportunities to meet staff and faculty from the DOM in smaller, more intimate settings that foster connection and community.

If you know of events or venues offering rich experiences in diversity – whether through food, cultural celebrations, art, music, etc. – we invite you to host a small gathering and share your knowledge and interests. The program administrators in the Chair’s Office will support you, and the department will cover the costs.

To learn more about the guidelines, click on the link below (VPN required) and select “Host an event.” The DOMINOs program managers will contact you to discuss and develop your idea further.
