College of Business Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee
Creating Opportunity, Connection, and Belonging
Committee Goals and Pillars
- The goals of the CoB Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committee are to increase and promote diversity among students, faculty, and staff, and to create an inclusive culture for students, faculty, staff and alumni of the CoB.
- The three pillars of the DEI committee are outreach, representation, and inclusion. For each pillar, we aim to create relevant programmatic initiatives, including student activities and campus life, curriculum development, and faculty and staff recruitment and development. We also strive to work with campus partners in related areas to promote related SBU initiatives.
