Diversity & Inclusion

The Diversity and Inclusion Committee of the Krannert School of Management provides vision, intellectual leadership, coordination, and planning to achieve excellence with diversity throughout  Krannert.   Our collective effort is to work collaboratively with Krannert faculty, staff and students to develop  school-wide  goals that uphold a shared belief in equity, respect, and belonging. The mission of the committee is to create an enriching and supportive climate that facilitates success in all members of the community. The Committee will be comprised of four faculty, four staff members, and two students.  Terms will be for three years.   The specific responsibilities of the committee are:
