About the School Diversity

Diversity refers to those differences (race, religion, gender, national origin, physical ability, sexual orientation, age, geographic origin, socioeconomic level, culture, language, ethnic background, intellectual skills, and others) that individuals bring to the school while contributing to the mission of the Swanson School of Engineering.

The Engineering Office of Diversity (EOD) is committed to fostering an environment in which faculty, staff, and students are valued for their unique cultures, experiences, and perspectives. The EOD works to create this environment by building a diverse workforce and student body, and by developing equitable academic supports designed to utilize the strengths of the school to meet the different academic needs of its student body without discrimination. In this environment, each member of our community has the opportunities and the support needed to reach his or her full potential. Working alongside the Faculty Advisory Committee on Diversity, the EOD has created and implemented a Diversity Action Plan (PDF) to guide the Swanson School of Engineering in its diversity efforts.
