Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Robotics Institute
The Carnegie Mellon University community stands unequivocally against racism and the systems that have perpetuated racial injustice.
At the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive community and to upholding the principle of equity, which, as a partner to excellence, is the foundation for ensuring that students, faculty, and staff have opportunities to succeed and thrive.
The Climate Committee is the home of the Robotics Institute’s departmental diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Consisting of Robotics Institute staff, faculty, and students, the RI Climate Committee is committed to identifying obstacles faced by various groups within the RI and making policy recommendations to the Director to address them.
The Robotics Institute fund for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The RI DEI Fund has been created via an initiative of the RI Climate and DEI Committee to:
- Financially support students from underrepresented backgrounds
- Help with outreach activities to battle racial inequality and injustice
- Fund recruiting activities for under-represented students and faculty to join the Robotics Institute
