About the Committee

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee works to promote diversity, achieve equity, and create an inclusive campus environment for graduate and professional student populations that are historically underserved and underrepresented in higher education.

Our committee especially encourages students who will offer diverse perspectives and experiences to join.

What We Do

This year, the committee will collaborate with University and shared-governance leadership and student organizations.

Accountability

Hold the University accountable for the DEI Action Plan by improving transparency and collaborating on ongoing work and work not yet started.

Student Representation

Share opinions on the DEI concerns of the University’s graduate and professional students at large, and serve on other campus DEI-related committees as GPSG representatives.
