Since the Council was created in 2020, its members have:
- Planned college events, including the Dean's Voices of Inclusive Excellence Lecture Series;
- Identified the data needed to track the recruitment, retention and advancement of students, faculty and staff from underrepresented groups across the college;
- Investigated effective mechanisms and best practices for the recruitment and retention of graduate students from underrepresented groups; and
- Advised the dean and senior leaders in the college on short-term and longer-term actions and initiatives that would better embody and strategically advance our commitment to diversity and inclusion.
We look forward to working with the Council again this year and welcoming new members to the group.
