College Diversity Roundtable Mission

The College Diversity Roundtable (CDR) Committee, appointed by the Dean of the College, is charged with establishing an educational forum/exchange by which diversity, in all its complexity and multi-facted dimensions, can be supported and affirmed. The Committee consists of faculty, staff and students and is co-chaired by Beth Olivares and Norman Burnett.

The CDR is structured as a student-centered task force where campus climate and quality of life issues and/or concerns can be voiced, heard, and acted upon, especially those affecting racial, ethnic and cultural groups on campus. The Diversity Roundtable can also serve as a focal point for diversity discussions, initiatives and best practices.
