Student Organization Diversity Equity and Inclusion Requirements

Background

The Jacobs School of Engineering is committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming community, to increase retention and graduation rates, and to promote a sustainable culture of academic excellence among all engineering students at �鶹��ý. ��Through the work of the IDEA Center and beyond, we strive to support leaders who can work effectively in teams and work collaboratively across various student organizations.��

��

The Purpose

Student organization leadership is responsible for promoting diversity and inclusion in everyday interactions with peers and other members of the campus community. In particular, organization leaders must promote the inclusion of students from groups that are marginalized in engineering including (but not limited to) Black, Latinx and Native American students, women students of all races, students with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community and first-generation college students. ��It is not enough just to state that you want diversity; student organization leaders must take action to promote and ensure it. ��All of �鶹��ý’s recognized and engineering student organizations must complete the following requirements in order to be eligible for funds through the Jacobs School of Engineering.
