A Collaborative Committee

The Council of Equity Leaders (CEL) is a university-wide committee, sponsored by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the Provost, that meets quarterly. The CEL serves as a key collaborative partner with the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) and includes approximately 20 members from across university colleges/schools/departments/units. These members were recommended by ODI or unit leads and appointed by the Provost.
