Strategies:
The goals of the Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Science (EEMB) Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Working Group 3 (WG3) committee are to facilitate and ensure a welcoming climate and curriculum for all students, faculty and staff by implementing thoughtful, practical, iterative and innovative strategies at all levels. To achieve this, the EEMB DEI WG3 committee will serve as a centralized body for coordination and collaboration on DEI-related topics including - but not limited to - the 2020 student demands submitted to the faculty. WG3The DEI committee will provide recommendations and support for DEI efforts across EEMB working groups, committees, lab groups, and individuals in the department, and will report on its activities to the entire department in regularly scheduled communications (e.g, weekly emails, biannual department meetings, etc). Additionally, the DEI committee will collaborate with other groups on campus and beyond to advance shared DEI objectives that transcend the departmental level.
