Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

A diverse group of students working together

The Department of Architectural Science (DAS) is committed to providing a learning environment and culture built on the fundamental values of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). 

These values are integral to our community and embedded throughout our programs, opportunities and resources. As a community of diverse cultures, experiences, opinions and ideas, we will continue to work collaboratively to remove systematic barriers and ensure an inclusive environment for students, staff and faculty in DAS. 

EDI Committee

The EDI Committee, a subcommittee of the Department Council, consists of students, faculty, staff and alumni working collaboratively to raise awareness and develop actionable steps to identify, evaluate and resolve EDI barriers inside and outside of the classroom.
