Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee (DEIC) at Rosenstiel School
The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (DEIC) at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science is charged with promoting an environment in which every member of the Rosenstiel School community is valued and with developing the appropriate programs to fulfill the commitment to caring for the diverse faculty, staff and student bodies. The committee enhances the awareness among the Rosenstiel School community on diversity, equity and inclusion issues toward eliminating biases resulting from gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation. More about what D, E, I, and C mean to us:
Diversity
Science works best when it draws from the broadest pool of talent and lived experiences. We consider the broad scope of diversity, including but not limited to: race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, geographic origins, economic background, religion, cultural practices, family status, disability status, and veteran status.
Equity
Every member of our community should have access to resources and opportunities that allow them to achieve their greatest potential.
Inclusion
Every person should feel welcome, valued, and able to achieve their greatest potential. We believe that a culture of inclusion is the most important precursor to achieving goals of diversity and equity. University of Miami fosters a "Culture of Belonging" that every member of our community should uphold.
Committee
Our committee is composed of a faculty representative from each of our five departments and the Rosenstiel School library, staff representatives, and student representatives.
