HPM Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee

The HPM DEI Committee brings together faculty, staff, and students of HPM to discuss opportunities to advance the department’s equity of processes and policies and its inclusiveness and to enhance its efforts to deepen and honor its diversity. The Committee was formed in July 2020.

Mission

To establish and maintain a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Department of Health Policy and Management through real, sustainable, and collaborative changes in the department's policies, practices, and pedagogical approaches where all members—faculty, students, and staff—can thrive.

Vision:

We envision a department where:

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are prioritized in all decision-making, including the development of policies and practices within the department.
There is a diverse range of perspectives and voices that are supported and empowered to take actions that allow members to thrive and fulfill Rollins' mission.
Resources and tools for maintaining a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment are easily accessible and promoted frequently.
