Welcoming and Inclusive Nelson (WIN) Committee

The Welcoming and Inclusive Nelson (WIN) committee is a divisional committee that supports the Nelson Institute's goals to diversify our faculty, staff, and student body; to maintain equity in access to education, resources, opportunities, compensation, and respectful treatment; and to create a climate where all people feel a sense of belonging and community. The committee is staffed by Nelson Institute faculty, academic staff and university staff members, and students. The committee meets monthly during the academic year, provides regular updates to the Nelson Institute Governance Committee, and advises the Dean on matters related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Activities

Snack and Chat

Join us for monthly Snack and Chat sessions. These are casual gatherings to encourage connection and conversations in the Science Hall student lounge. Connect over coffee and snacks. No agenda — just conversations! Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to attend. Come and go as your schedule allows.

Snack and Chat is taking a break for the summer. Join us again in the fall!
