Anti-Racism and creating a welcoming environment for all
Following are some of the ways racism has shown up in the College of Engineering. These actions are endemic of a long-standing problem. As we strive to build an inclusive and equitable environment for learning, research, service and outreach we ask you to review and reflect on these instances and consider the role you can play in creating a welcoming environment for all.

Inclusive Excellence Faculty Fellowship
The overarching goal of the Inclusive Excellence Faculty Fellowship Program (IEFFP) is to implement a training and development program in the College of Engineering for instructional faculty leaders and DEI change agents. The IEFFP will not only grow DEI knowledge and practice in existing classes but serve as a feeder program to have more engineering courses obtain Diversity (DIV) designation at the university level. Fellows will be provided tools and resources on integrating intercultural competence and inclusive teaching practices and receive dedicated support to redesign their course and facilitate impactful change in their unit and across the college.
