Diversity, Inclusion & Access
At Colorado School of Mines, we understand that a diverse and inclusive campus environment inspires creativity and innovation, which are essential to the engineering process. We also know that in order to address current and emerging national and global challenges, it is important to learn with and from people who have different backgrounds, thoughts, and experiences.
Our students come from every state in the nation and from more than 90 countries around the world, and we continue to make progress in the areas of diversity and inclusion by providing programs and services to support these efforts.
The President’s Council on Diversity, Inclusion & Access
The council concept was introduced in a Spring 2017 campus-wide email and at the 2017 Fall Campus Conference. Prof. Amy Landis, in her role as Mines Presidential Faculty Fellow for Access, Attainment & Diversity, will lead the Council, with its charge being:
- Frame recommendations to the Mines’ president on a strategic access, attainment, inclusion, and diversity plan. The plan will include goals that will be achieved through signature initiatives that advance Mines’ commitments to diversity and inclusion.
- Advise implementation of data collection and contribute to reporting with respect to recruiting, enrollment, hiring, retention, graduation rates, and promotion and leadership opportunities for students, faculty and staff.
- Make recommendations to ensure and empower campus-wide collaboration, shared responsibility, and accountability for access, inclusion, and diversity.
- Evaluate opportunities to expand pathways for student, faculty, and staff access and success to create a campus climate in which all can thrive academically and professionally.
