Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Classroom

It is essential that diversity and inclusion be woven through all through what we do inside and outside the classroom.  We believe that this starts the opening day when you are talking to students about expectations in the classroom through the syllabus.  Below is a statement that could be added to the syllabus.  Talking about diversity on day 1 lead by the professor sends a strong statement to students about the importance of inclusivity inside and outside the classroom. 

The College of Engineering values diversity and inclusiveness as top priorities for our college community. We are committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for our students, faculty and staff.
