The CISE Diversity Council seeks to promote diversity among faculty, staff, and students in the college. CISE believes in the importance of diverse experiences and perspectives, particularly for solving real-world problems.  Each of its academic units focuses on attracting non-traditional students to applied STEM fields, and the Diversity Committee helps facilitate and coordinate these efforts.  The committee is comprised of the chairs of the departmental diversity committees along with the Associate Dean.

Committee Members

• Mike Lam (Dean’s representative)
• Carole Nash (chair)
• Mona Rizvi
• Steven Woodruff
• Raafat Zaini

Diversity Related Activities

Faculty, staff, and students in our units engage in various activities to promote greater diversity in our academic areas and in STEM fields more broadly.  We are especially active in seeking to broaden the participation of girls and under-represented groups in STEM fields in the K-12 realm.  

If you have an idea for a diversity-related activity or project you would like to see pursued in CISE, please get in touch with Carole Nash.
