Committee on DIB

The SEAS Committee on Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging was convened in October 2017. The committee held its first meeting on November 30, 2017. 

CHARGE

The Committee on Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging will aid SEAS ODIB in the ongoing efforts of long-term strategic planning and implementation efforts to advance SEAS' commitment to inclusive excellence. By using qualitative and quantitative data to identify evidence-based best practices, the committee strives to foster a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all stakeholders. This body develops strategies, initiatives, and programs that align with SEAS's goals to create a community where every member can belong and grow, broadening participation in our discipline, and maximizing our societal impact. This involves supporting relevant offices, departments, and stakeholders in systematically realizing the plan. Additionally, the committee will foster community-wide engagement and feedback, ensuring continual assessment and updates of the SEAS Diversity Strategic Plan.
