Initiatives in DEI

Our programming includes workshops, seminars, peer mentoring, inclusive curriculum advocacy, professional and personal development, community college partnerships, K-12 outreach, community building events, and support of engineering student organizations. We invite you to participate in our activities and we encourage you to join us in our continuing efforts to make our college more diverse, inclusive, and welcoming.

Climate and Support

In the College of Engineering, we offer workshops on mental health, stress management, and resiliency, as well as a for-credit seminar on Mindfulness and Wellness in Engineering (ENGIN 391W). The campus is also committed to student health and well-being.

Professional Development

Professional development programming is closely coordinated with our student groups (SWE, NSBE, SHPE, oSTEM, SAME, SASE). While specific activities vary from year to year, it includes travel support for students to attend conferences.
