Committee for the Advancement of Inclusion and Diversity
The Committee for the Advancement of Inclusion and Diversity is charged with facilitating and advancing a culture of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility across the College of Mines and Earth Sciences (CMES). We provide actionable recommendations to all College programs and evaluate and assess progress towards an academic culture that is barrier free, promotes a sense of belonging, and deliberately advances the success of people traditionally marginalized in STEM.
