Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Committees Across SCS

As part of the School of Computer Science's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts, our departments have established committees that will help us embed DEI in all our goals and activities. Representatives from each of these committees — as well as those from the college's Dean’s Advisory Committees and our at-large members — meet to discuss ongoing and upcoming efforts in SCS. These groups will continue to convene regularly in the coming months, focusing on specific actions as we work toward our goals.

If you have any questions, concerns or feedback, feel free to contact us.
