CPCS Diversity Council

We will vigorously and continuously work towards creating an environment at CPCS in which everyone—students, faculty and staff—feels a sense of belonging and has equal opportunity to contribute and to develop their potential.

2020-2021 Goals

• Finalize CPCS-specific questions for climate survey.
• Recommendations to the Dean on processes and procedures for recruiting a more diverse cadre of adjunct faculty  (incorporating data from climate survey)
• Recommendations for curricular reforms to the Dean and Academic Affairs Committee (incorporating data from climate survey)
• Case statement document ready to support fundraising effort for building endowed scholarship fund.  Council will have input to ensure relevance to diverse audiences.
• Recommendations to the Dean for an upgraded bundle of services and financial aid to support the recruiting and retention of a diverse student body.
• Offer two training workshops to faculty that will better enable them to address issues of diversity, equity and inclusion in the classroom.
• All staff will have taken least two workshops in Adelphi’s Diversity Certificate Program
