Welcome to the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee of the Division of Applied Mathematics!
Our departmental Diversity and Inclusion Committee meets bi-weekly. Our goals are to develop plans to improve climate and increase diversity and inclusion. We will also work on a revision of the 2016 departmental diversity and inclusion action plan (follow the link to view this plan). There is also a website devoted to the Academic Department DIAPs. Please feel free to reach out to us!
In Spring 2023, the Applied Math diversity, equity, and inclusion committee consists of Teressa Chambers, Juniper Cocomello, Stuart Geman, Emma McFall, Bjorn Sandstede, Peter Sentz, Moyi Tian, and Rosanna Wertheimer.
If you have any concerns, ideas, or suggestions, please reach out to us! Our Applied Math Comment Box allows you to leave comments/suggestions and to report incidents anonymously to the department.
Charge
The Division of Applied Mathematics is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive community in the department.

-
assess progress towards the DDIAP plan and reviewing the climate in the Division;
-
address or alert the relevant departmental officers or OIED to DEI related concerns;
-
carry out tasks assigned to the committee in the DDIAP;
-
recommend best practices and policies regarding DEI to the chair;
-
plan and coordinate departmental DEI events; and
-
communicate best practices, findings, and recommendations to the APMA community.
