Our Advisory Board is comprised of staff, faculty, alumni, and student representatives. We provide strategic guidance, support, and advocacy to advance the mission of the DEIB Office.
Why Is The Advisory Board Important:

"Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are foundational to building systems that honor the humanity, potential, and lived experiences of every individual. For me, this work is not just about representation—it’s about transforming structures to ensure that opportunity, access, and justice are embedded at every level of decision-making."
Lydia Nichols, Alumni

"This is important because we need to strive to provide everyone with a voice. The feeling of belonging is important to preserve in our community."
