RSJ diversity committee

Open inquiry, freedom of expression and respect for difference are fundamental to a comprehensive and dynamic education. The RSJ Diversity Committee is comprised of faculty members who are committed to upholding these ideals by fostering an environment that is conducive to exploring, engaging and expressing diverse perspectives and respecting diverse identities.

As such, the RSJ Diversity Committee develops proactive initiatives to strengthen or uphold these ideals across RSJ programs and curricula. The committee works in conjunction with the RSJ Student Diversity Advisory Panel to solicit student input on diversity initiatives within the school.

Mission statement

To have a measurable impact on the recruitment, retention, graduation rates, employability and graduate school acceptances of Reynolds School students and alumni, particularly those from diverse backgrounds.
