Culture of Inclusion

You are here: Home / Culture of Inclusion

PATHS-UP is committed to enriching and maintaining a culture of inclusive (CoI) excellence by acknowledging, educating, appreciating, and nurturing diversity, uniqueness, and belongingness to minimize bias and maximize the effectiveness of the PATHS-UP enterprise. Check out Accenture’s video on inclusion to learn more about we are committed to maintaining a culture of inclusivity.

1. Develop, promote, and sustain a culture of inclusion throughout PATHS-UP.

  • Host annual workshops with notable guest speakers to discuss CoI topics.
  • Target a gender balanced leadership team.
  • Include gamification in the CoI process from sites such as FairPlayGame.
  • Target a PATHS-UP faculty population that is >20% diverse, including women, persons with disabilities, African Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and other racial groups underrepresented in engineering.

2. Perform outreach to recruit, and retain undergraduate and graduate STEM students from underrepresented groups.

  • Participate in at least three diversity recruiting events each year to recruit underrepresented minority undergraduate/graduate students into PATHS-UP.
  • PATHS-UP faculty will place underrepresented STEM undergraduate students in the VIP and REU programs.
  • Encourage high school students from our underserved and underrepresented communities to participate in the summer scholars program and ultimately pursue STEM careers.
  • Target the number of PATHS-UP undergraduate/graduate student scholars to be better than the national engineering averages for underrepresented groups in STEM.
  • Invite underrepresented professors and scholars to deliver seminars and talks to our PATHS-UP students.
