Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in CU Mechanical Engineering

At ME, we envision a diverse and thriving community where all persons are afforded an active voice and a transparent and timely mechanism to address their concerns or views. 

Make your voice heard.

Semester Town Halls

The ME Department hosts a DEI-focused Town Hall every semester, details will be sent by email to the community in a timely manner

What should you expect when attending the Town Hall? At the Town Hall, the DEI Committee and/or the Department Chair will update all attendees on the DEI efforts from the department. A variety of initiatives will be implemented to spark group conversation about important current DEI-related topics.

What should you expect after sending your email? The email is sent to the ME Office Manager, who will first acknowledge receipt and then contact the ME DEI committee. The DEI committee will decide the course of action, and the Office Manager will contact you to follow up. Expect acknowledgment of receipt of your email within two business days and follow-up communication within 5 business days.
