Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

 

 

The College of Arts, Media and Design believes that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are critical components in pushing the boundaries of creativity, communication, and innovation.

DEI expands our definition of research, scholarship, and creative practice. DEI empowers individuals to think beyond themselves. It creates environments where people feel heard, seen, and most importantly, feel welcome. It provides a sense of belonging and a sense of community. It encourages individuals to be agents of change.  As makers, innovators, and entrepreneurs, we have the collective responsibility to uphold and prioritize these pillars through our individual work and collaborative partnerships.

The College of Arts, Media, and Design is committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in all aspects of the college. If you have questions and/or ideas on how to improve DEI efforts at CAMD, please reach out directly. Together, we can focus on the present for a better tomorrow.


 

 

Diversity Fellowships

College of Arts, Media and Design Diversity Fellowships are an important component of the college’s commitment to achieving a more diverse graduate student body. Fellowships are awarded to a limited number of CAMD graduate students each year; applicants identifying with underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds are invited to indicate their interest to be considered for a Diversity Fellowship by submitting a one-page statement with their application materials.
