What does Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Look Like at Austin College?
The identity of Austin College centers on a transformative learning experience for ALL students. This community is made up of diverse students, faculty and staff who are aware and respectful of our differences, and who intentionally pursue a culture of inclusive excellence.
As such, we at Austin College commit to the cultivation of minds, the pursuit of social justice, and respect for common humanity.
President’s Committee on Inclusion and Diversity at Work
Knowing that people vary, we want every member of our community to feel valued in a way that nurtures, rather than erases, differences. To put those words into action, the President’s Committee on Inclusion and Diversity works to develop recommendations for meaningful change. Under the leadership of Carllos Lassiter, Chief Inclusion & Diversity Officer/Vice President for Student Affairs the committee includes students, faculty, staff.
