Equity and Inclusion in STEM

rainbow-colored hands raised with the text "you should be heard"

There is a critical need to improve communication within the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) between students, staff, faculty, and the administration.  CSE has created two ambassador programs to help facilitate this need as we work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable space for all. 

The Engineering & Design Department has two people devoted to supporting students, staff, and faculty in this department.  They have set office hours and are available to make individual appointments as well.
