PAE-6: Diversity and Equity Coordination

The President’s Council on Diversity and Inclusion seeks out ideas, recommendations, and feedback from the broader community. Through collaboration, research, and action, the Council will propose a series of best practices that benefit all members of the GW community, enhance the experience of traditionally underrepresented populations, and cultivate a more inclusive climate for students, staff, faculty and the broader community, of which George Washington is an integral part.
