Governance

CLA Departments often have their own department student groups. Graduate students should contact their program if they are interested in finding a departmental group.

The mission of CLA’s Office for Diversity, Inclusion, Community Engagement, and Equity includes meeting the needs of students, but we do not have regular opportunities to engage with them and seek their perspective. Our mission also includes engaging in routine consultation with the various constituencies who we serve. For these reasons Student Voices for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has been created with the following purpose:

• To provide the Office for Diversity, Inclusion, Community Engagement, and Equity with regular opportunities to engage with a diverse group of students to:
• explore diversity, equity and inclusion-related issues or concerns of which our office and/or CLA leaders should be aware,
  have more insight into how students with diverse identities experience CLA
  seek input or feedback on potential future initiatives, and to
  receive counsel as needed concerning emerging diversity, equity and inclusion issues, crises, or opportunities.

In order to accomplish the above purpose members will sometimes be asked to reflect on their own lived experiences as a CLA student within the context of their salient identities.

Graduate Student Application Deadline is September 30th.

All meetings are on Thursday meeting date, from 5 - 6p,
