Diversity and Inclusion @ Tandon
Diverse, inclusive, and equitable environments are not tangential or incidental to excellence, but rather are constitutive of it.
Such environments invite and foster a wider range of experience, knowledge, and perspectives, which in turn fosters a more successful, creative, and innovative institution, as well as teams or groups within that institution.
Our Commitment
The NYU Tandon School of Engineering is committed to supporting and enhancing inclusion, diversity, belonging, and equity (IDBE) among students, faculty, and staff, in the service of excellence.
That means supporting within our community:
Diversity in Action
IDEASCALE
IdeaScale is a platform where the NYU Tandon community can share and develop ideas to enhance Inclusion, Diversity, Belonging, and Equity (IDBE). It allows students, faculty, and staff to propose and discuss initiatives. Users can submit ideas, vote on suggestions, and collaborate on strategies that aim to improve the overall experience within the NYU Tandon community.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMITTEE
We are creating an environment in which everyone can feel welcomed, respected, and supported. We want to be effective allies of Black and Latino students, the LGBT community, aspiring women STEM professionals, and all other groups who might feel marginalized or barred from the STEM world.
INCLUSIVE RESEARCH @ TANDON
As research institutions, engineering schools are perfectly positioned to create next-generation technology that accounts for inherent bias, measures disparities, increases accessibility for people with disabilities, and opens world-changing possibilities in sometimes unexpected ways.
MY BROTHER'S KEEPER @ TANDON
We vow to be a staunch and active ally of Black and Latino STEM scholars and industry professionals, and we are conducting the ongoing work, vigilance, and in-depth discussion required. The My Brother's Keeper @ Tandon (MyBK @ Tandon) Initiative is an important component of this effort and the concrete, measurable actions we are taking.
WOMEN @ TANDON
We vow to be a place where women scientists, technologists, and engineers are heard and supported. We know that it’s impossible for a society to thrive if it ignores the talents and skills of a large segment of its members, and we won’t rest until women, who make up half the world’s population, have the education they need to hold half the world’s STEM jobs.
NYU ECOSYSTEM HUB
The Ecosystem Hub (NSF ADVANCE) project tackles the underrepresentation of women and underrepresented minority (UrM) faculty in STEM leadership roles. Its goals include increasing the participation of women and UrM STEM faculty in leadership positions, transforming NYU leaders into champions of diversity through training and the Diversity Advocates program, and enhancing retention and inclusion.
