Inclusive Teaching
The Inclusive Teaching Committee of the DEI Working Group is planning the second annual faculty workshop for mid-August with topics ranging from inclusive graduate student advising to a review of mental health and other resources for students. In conjunction with CEMS Information Technology, the team is also working on a more standardized accommodation/extension tool for students who have recently experienced a traumatic event.

Cari Dutcher, Vivian Ferry, Ben Hackel, Kim Kosto, Alon McCormick, Matt Neurock, Qi Zhang and CEMS staff: Kacey Gregerson and Julie Prince).
