DEI department leads are faculty members who serve as the point of contact for DEI at the department level. They:
- Lead planning, coordination, and implementation of department-level DEI activities
- Report on department-level DEI activities and share best practices
- Serve as an additional resource for DEI-related concerns at the department level, including active participation in addressing any issues arising
- Serve as a link between department-level and college- and university-level DEI efforts
