In order for our inclusion goals to be realized, the path forward needs to be mapped with intentionality. This plan, launched in February 2021, is a living document developed by the Diversity Committee and proposes a series of actions and interventions designed to raise awareness and improve the climate for inclusion.

Our Diversity Committee comprises a range of faculty and staff members and student representatives:
