Welcome

At Mines, we’re all about individuality, and we place a high value on out-of-the-box thinking. After all, that’s how we make scientific breakthroughs and develop game-changing ideas.

By providing support services and resources through the diversity, inclusion and access (DI&A) initiative, we hope to nurture this thinking and work towards a more inclusive and equitable campus environment for students, staff and faculty alike.

Please contact DI&A with any questions you have about Mines DI&A, what it means to you, your department or office and how you can be a part of making Mines an inspiring and inclusive place for every Oredigger.

DI&A Goals

Attract, retain and graduate a thriving and diverse student body
Attract, retain, develop and promote a thriving and diverse employee community
Cultivate an inclusive campus culture that promotes and celebrates inclusion and achievement
Inspire shared responsibility, participation and accountability for DI&A efforts across the Mines community

Orediggers for Equity

Help the Mines community continue to learn and take action regarding diversity and racism on campus. We’d love to hear your thoughts and what you’ve been working on so we can share with the Mines campus and encourage others to take these necessary steps as we climb together.

Every Monday we ask campus to set aside 30 minutes to learn more about racial equity in STEM. Tell us about a resource you’ve found insightful, or share a story about how your team, class, department or organization is discussing and addressing issues related to diversity or racism.

Share what you’re learning on social media by using #OrediggersForEquity or complete the ‘share your initiative’ form below so we can feature your efforts on our resources webpage.

Not sure where to start? Check out our evolving list of racial equity resources.
