MDA Supports an Environment of Diversity

We recognize that diversity includes, but is not limited to, personal life experiences, geographic background, socioeconomic background, cultural knowledge, educational background, work background, language abilities, physical abilities, philosophical and spiritual perspectives, age, race, ethnicity, and gender. As an Agency, we will approach diversity as a composite of these individual characteristics, experiences, and abilities consistent with the Agency's core values. Our recruitment, retention and development programs must maximize individual strengths and combine individual abilities and perspectives for the good of our mission.

In April 2011, MDA was listed as a top supporter of Historically Black Colleges and Universities by US Black Engineer & Information Technology.
