Academic infrastructure development to include and provide equity for residents from all backgrounds, moves science forward. Efforts designed to increase diversification of the USA workforce have been made by National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), yet many communities remain underrepresented in many disciplines of science, including the ocean sciences. In this talk, I discuss the necessity of decolonizing education at the university level and how we can change from a narrative of "these things take time" towards action items that, when enacted, unify administration, faculty, and the student body. If enacted, new academic infrastructure can better reach untapped talent pools of people and gain traction towards the calls made by NSF, NAS, and NOAA to diversify the USA scientific workforce.
