2022-2023 Student Diversity Committee

  • by EPMDC

The Environmental Policy and Management Diversity Committee (EPMDC) was established in 2020 to advocate for student issues and act as a listening body for marginalized EPM students. EPMDC continues to advocate for all aspects of diversity among our students, including gender identity, sexual orientation, religious orientation, race, ethnicity, immigration status, and disabilities. They accomplish this through six initiatives:

1. EPM Program-wide Strategic Planning

2. Enhancing Diversity in EPM Faculty and External Advisory Committee

3. Enhancing diversity in the EPM admissions process

4. Support incoming and existing students of color and international students

5. Acknowledging and supporting the intersectional identities of EPM students

6. Serving our community by providing leadership in achieving these goals

As the EPMDC grows, they will formally and regularly (quarterly) communicate our progress via open forums, the EPM website, email, and meetings. After receiving feedback from current students of the 2022-23 academic year, our full Action Statement is available to read here.

Now that the founders have graduated, seven new members are working to continue their legacy:
