Admin Council DEI Retreat

The UMCES-wide Administrative Council had a retreat to discuss Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) at UMCES. Annie Carew and Nathan Miller attended and participated. Last year, a survey was conducted to assess the cultural climate at UMCES, and most of the retreat was dedicated to discussing the results of that survey. UMCES as a whole is striving to improve its culture of collegiality and mutual respect across all campuses. A lot of progress has been made in the last several years, but there is still more work to be done. At IAN, we are furthering DEIJ in our work by incorporating environmental justice indicators into our report card projects and including diverse stakeholders in our projects.
