Committee on Diversity & Climate

Welcome. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and climate are high priorities for our department. The committee is composed of dedicated faculty, staff, post-docs, graduate students, and undergraduate students, who work together and with others throughout the department on these and related issues.

Please feel free to reach out to a committee member if you are interested in getting involved in supporting our Diversity Initiative or if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions. We invite you to schedule a meeting with us during our office hours.
