COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES |
OFFICE OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION







Chairs and Directors,

Our commitment to maintaining a diverse community is reflected in the departmental climates. At all times, we desire to create work environments that are inclusive and honor the fullness of our faculty, staff and students’ lives. When scheduling mandatory meetings and other events we ask that you consider our faculty, staff and students’ freedom of religious expression by reasonably accommodating religious obligations and observances. To plan ahead, please consult the list below and/or visit the Interfaith Calendar<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.interfaith-calendar.org/__;!!KGKeukY!iwySxVIPFSP1wvKEEAQ7dFCus2zt_No3mvJqC0C5WQgChZZF4pL92oeO-_VBv1GekcB68iqfBK8$> website. Additionally, we ask that you exercise consideration for family obligations by considering meeting times that are not very early morning or very late afternoons. These considerations reflect the inclusive culture we seek to create and maintain in ASC.

Best,
Wendy Smooth,
Associate Dean, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
