Spring 2024 Update

We hosted the second annual "College Conversation on EDI" event in November. Dean Brooke Milne delivered opening remarks and members of the EDI committee facilitated a global cafe activity based on the areas of the college's EDI action plan: operations and policy, student experience, staff experience, research, scholarly and artistic work, and teaching.

Working groups were later formed to work specifically on these theme areas, and were led by Andrea Wasylow, Romain Chareyron, Carla Orosz, Tara Kahan and Tara Hackl, and Mike Bradley, respectively. The EDI committee also advised on the college's Black History Month panel event in February.

The committee funded 6 project initiatives this year at $500 each, for a total of 16 projects over the past three years.
