Committees

The mission of the Emmanuel College Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access through Action (IDEAA) Committee is to cultivate a culture of inclusive excellence and belonging for all. In alignment with the College Mission and strategic plan, we are committed to engaging with the Emmanuel community and beyond as a resource for information, assessment, and research. Using a data-driven and intentional approach, we aim to effect positive change such that we celebrate the unique identities and contributions of each member of our community. Our work is informed and influenced by our ever-changing community and global social justice issues that understand diversity is free from hostility and intolerance. We empower and equip our community members and external stakeholders to be agents of equitable change.

The CDEI Advisory Council works closely with the leaders of the Center for DEI to create accountability for high level results and provides governance and oversight on DEI efforts. The Council serves and will work in partnership with leaders to create DEI goals and to evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing efforts and adapting as needed.

The Council serves a critical role in providing different viewpoints, opinions, and ideas that embraces a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.
