DEI Advisory Council

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council - Values, Vision, and Mission

The Milgard DEI Council works collaboratively to intentionally educate ourselves and members of the Milgard School of Business about diversity, equity, and inclusion. We provide policy recommendations and advocacy to create a more inclusive and just community, create safe spaces for students, faculty, and staff to grow and learn, and hold ourselves and others accountable when internalized racism is externalized in our policies, interactions, teaching and learning.

Established in January 2021, Milgard’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Council is an advisory and recommending body to the Dean on inculcation of best practices and policies and promotion of knowledge and skills to ensure that all members of the Milgard community are treated with respect and dignity, have access and voice, and an opportunity to display their full potential. Chaired by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer, the Council will consist of 12-15 individuals representing all constituent groups including undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community collaborators. The first cohort of Council members will serve a 1-2 year term, meeting monthly from September to June in the academic year.
