To foster an increasingly Inclusive culture, the Black School of Business has formed a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee that will advance initiatives and efforts to ensure that all students, faculty members, staff members, and stakeholders are respected, valued, and have the opportunity to thrive.

“Currently, we are working on establishing a seminar series to help faculty and staff understand the dynamics and challenges of DEI, and to provide information and resources about creating an inclusive climate for teaching and research,” said Dr. Ying Cao, assistant professor of project and supply chain management and chair of the DEI Committee. “We also plan to develop a mentorship program for our diverse students to strengthen their sense of belonging.”
