Diversity Council

Mission:

The Diversity Council provides guidance and advice to Burrell College senior leadership with the objective of creating and supporting an environment that embraces differences, celebrates the rich cultures that make up the fabric of our medical school and advances the focus of the Burrell College’s mission to increase diversity in the physician workforce and foster a practice of life-long learning, compassion, respect and excellence in its students.

Purpose:

The Diversity Council develops, recommends and advocates for policies, practices, and programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion, all of which aim to sustain a culture of respect and dignity among faculty, staff, students and the communities that we engage and serve.  These policies, practices and programs will include both student and employee recruitment and retention efforts, curricular recommendations as well as the development and implementation of both internal and external outreach initiatives in collaboration with the College’s Student Government Association and the College’s Community Engagement Committee.
