The IANR Leadership Team has organized a group of faculty, students, and staff to advise them on efforts to nurture a welcoming and inclusive environment within IANR.
The group has been charged to:
-
Explore the impact of policies, procedures, and practices on access to education and employment and on our ability to nurture a welcoming environment where everyone’s contributions are sought after, encouraged and valued.
-
Ensure that we are talking about, planning for and acting in ways that promote individual access and success, welcoming environments, and a sense of belonging for everyone associated with IANR.
-
Provide feedback on the strategic direction of IANR.
