The Engineering Advising and Diversity Center team recruits a diverse, high-quality student population
to study in the College of Engineering and encourages students to persist
to degree completion through experiential education, community building,
and information about the fields of engineering.
The College of Engineering's Engineering Advising and Diversity Center, led
by Dr. Carmen Sidbury, consists of college staff and leaders from student
service programs in the college with the overall goal of developing and
implementing a comprehensive strategy for the future.
