The CBCS Faculty Council recently approved the formation of a workgroup to discuss issues related to diversity and inclusion within the College. While there are Offices of "Diversity, Inclusion, and Equal Opportunity" and for "Multicultural Affairs" at the University level, it is felt that having a group attending to these issues at the College level and coordinating activities with the University-level groups will assist students, staff, administration, and faculty of CBCS to be better apprised of issues related to diversity and inclusion, particularly as they relate to the CBCS departments' students and workforce. If you are interested in becoming a part of this workgroup, to assist in determining important initiatives and looking toward making CBCS an even more inclusive environment, please contact Celia Lescano, PhD.
