Toward this goal, the DEI-O Committee is sustaining a continuing series of monthly DEI Forums. These forums will involve interactive, guided discussions<\/b> based on articles, films, podcasts, or other media shared in the 1\u20132 weeks prior to each forum<\/b>.\u00a0These forums are open to all<\/strong> in our department community\u2013including undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, staff, and faculty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
