Welcome from the School of Mathematics DEI Committee

Welcome to the School of Mathematics Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) website.  The purpose of this website is to connect you to resources, tools and information that will aid in creating a more inclusive, equitable, informed and welcoming environment within the School of Mathematics.  As a committee, we are excited about the opportunity that we have to listen to our students, faculty and staff.  We look forward to learning from our shared experiences and working together to make the School of Mathematics a continuously better place to study, teach, learn, grow and work.

We hope that you will take some time to explore our website, which reflects the contributions of hard-working individuals (inside and outside of Georgia Tech) who are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion.  As we move forward, we realize that there is a lot of work to be done.  This reminds us of profound words spoken by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “…we must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future.”[1]  It is in this spirit of courage and resolve that we are inspired by our possibilities and optimistic about our future.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any DEI questions and/or concerns by emailing us at DEI@math.gatech.edu.  We also welcome your feedback and suggestions. We are confident that together, we will make a difference.

Sincerely,
School of Mathematics DEI Committee:
Malcom Emerson, Klara Grodzinsky, Rachel Kuske (DEI co-chair), April McCruel (DEI co-chair), Kevin Shu, Naga Manasa Vempati, and Josephine Yu
