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.
