Dear School of Science community,

Over the past few months, I have met with many of you to hear your thoughts, reflections, and experiences pertaining to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Thank you to each of you who took the time to meet with me. Your thoughtful comments and insights, along with resources and reports that you shared – over the course of more than 200 meetings – form the basis of the DEI action items found in the attached framework.

There are many ways to contribute to our community—whether you are a student, postdoc, staff, or faculty member. Dean Mavalvala and I, along with Associate Deans Jackie Lees and Rebecca Saxe, wrote this document in a way that includes all cohorts across the school. (Please let me know if you need this document sent in a different format for accessibility). This is just a first step; we expect to send out periodic communications to all of you with updates and information on our DEI work.

I look forward to continuing to work with you in the coming months, and welcome your feedback and participation. On behalf of the School of Science Dean’s Office, a happy new year to all!


Best,

Kuheli Dutt, Assistant Dean for DEI

and

Nergis Mavalvala, Dean

Jackie Lees, Associate Dean

Rebecca Saxe, Associate Dean
