Community Building Subcommittee

Mission

The goal of this subcommittee is to establish and maintain programming events intended to promote a welcoming and inclusive workplace that celebrates diversity. We will develop ways to bring together members of the departmental community to enhance a sense of belonging and host events designed to educate and promote discussion within our department on issues related to race, gender, and mental health.
