DEI Committee
The Geography department’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee seeks to enhance the diversity of the department, foster an inclusive climate, and address systematic inequities and all forms of discrimination. The Committee is responsible for organizing relevant trainings, workshops, seminars and discussions; conducting an annual graduate student climate survey; coordinating a mentoring program for pre-tenure faculty; supporting a Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) affinity group; and organizing other activities and initiatives aimed at enhancing the diversity, equity, and inclusivity of the department.

BIPOC Affinity Group
The BIPOC affinity group is a supportive group of students and faculty in the department who self-identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color). We have a Slack channel and will organize at least one meeting per semester. For any department members interested in joining the BIPOC affinity group, please contact Sandy Wong at swong@fsu.edu.
