Diversity & Inclusion Committee

The Committee on Diversity & Inclusion—consisting of three faculty and three graduate student members—works to enhance the goals of equity, inclusion and diversity (EID) of the EEES Program. We firmly believe enhancing diversity and inclusivity through research, teaching, mentoring, and broader interactions with the Dartmouth community and beyond will generate a stronger and more sustainable program.

A central goal of the Committee is to examine ways to increase the diversity of EEES community members (particularly graduate students), and to create an inclusive intellectual and social environment. Specific activities include:

• working with co-Chairs to finalize and update the EEES EID plan
• collecting and reporting data on graduate student and faculty experiences and perspectives related to issues of diversity and inclusion
• communicating information about diversity initiatives to graduate students and faculty
• coordinating with campus units, including the C3I initiative and the Office of Institutional Diversity and Equity (IDE) and other Dartmouth units
• engaging with other EEES committees to promote EID goals in their activities (e.g. program-specific policies and protocols for enhancing EID objectives)
• hold workshops and other forums to educate our community about the critical need for equity, inclusion and diversity in higher education
