The Diversity Committee is comprised of faculty, staff and students (undergraduate and graduate) who self-nominated or were nominated by the college’s Executive Committee and/or Department Chairs.  Throughout the academic year, work groups focus on reviewing, developing (where needed) and implementing policies and procedures that promote:

• Diverse recruitment and retention practices for faculty, staff and students
• Inclusion of diversity and cultural competence in curricula
• An inclusive environment (physical and social) within the college
• Research and service with diverse populations

All groups are supported in their efforts by key administrators and personnel from the Dean’s Office. The Diversity Committee’s co-chairs are Jessica Boyer, assistant director for accreditation and assessment, and Kathy Coyle, senior advisor for the dean.
