Study Circles II: Dismantling Racism

A Diversity Council has been established to foster inclusive excellence within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS). Central to the concept of inclusive excellence is the recruitment and
retention of outstanding faculty and students from underrepresented groups
who have the skills and abilities to make significant contributions to the College. Another key aspect of inclusive excellence is creating and maintaining an environment that is conducive to underrepresented groups' development, productivity and success within the College.
