DEI Mini-Grant
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Mini-Grant provides funding to the Columbia Engineering community to empower and enrich DEI efforts across the School.
About the DEI Mini-Grant
Aligned with Columbia Engineering's steadfast commitment to promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) within the engineering community, the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion recently launched the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Mini-Grant.
This initiative seeks to support grassroots initiatives that advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in alignment with the Commission's Goals. Proposals should focus on expanding and deepening understanding of current DEI trends within the department and/or school, while also prioritizing the creation of inclusive pathways for participation across all groups in STEM.
