Diversity & Inclusion at Arts & Sciences
Our mission can best be achieved through a diverse, inclusive, and accessible environment for all.
The CAS D&I Office is a primary source for CAS’s strategic diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals, and for community members seeking guidance and support. Our goal is to meaningfully engage students, faculty, and staff in prioritizing the values of DEI in their intellectual and creative endeavors, community engagement, and daily practices.
