The Committee for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (CDEI) is gearing up for the new virtual workshop series, Focus Fridays. The primary aim of Focus Fridays is to offer workshops tailored to build the community’s DEI toolkit to provide actionable ways to navigate and mitigate complex issues as an individual or organization. The new series will be held on Fridays from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm Eastern Time starting on October 30th, 2020. 

Our call for proposals sought to stretch beyond the boundaries of engineering education. Hence, we gladly welcome the expertise of faculty, graduate students, and practitioners in various fields to share their knowledge related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We’ve stressed the importance of our facilitators to design interactive workshops that actively engage participants throughout the sessions.
