DEI councils

The DEI councils are established as a platform for advocacy and partnership-building to address and strengthen Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the school community.

The Councils consist of two related entities – the Advisory and the Governance Council, each one fulfilling different functions and yet overlapping to collaboratively direct the School towards its DEI goals. The overarching roles of the Councils are to (1) provide a voice to the members of our community at the grassroots; (2) act as change agents for and within the School and (3) help institutionalize practices that support and accelerate DEI initiatives.

DEI Advisory Council members

This council acts as an ear to the ground and has a finger on the community's pulse to: Identify inclusion needs, share resources with the broader community, suggest programming, and be a local advocate.
