Diversity and Inclusion Committee
This committee is geared towards allowing all students of differing backgrounds to have an advocate for them both around campus and in the Student Government.
What we do?

- Members of the committee are both senators of the Student Government and at-large members.
Member responsibilities

- Attending meetings as set by the group, and if unable to make the meeting informing the director ahead of time.

- Bringing forward issues that are being brought up by other students on campus and advocating for them in the committee meetings.
Initiatives for the committee this year:

Statement from the Committee Chair:
My overall goals for this committee is to continue to advocate on behalf of all students for issues that occur on campus that they would like us to address. We are here to connect groups on campus to help with issues that may arise while also putting forward our own initiatives in support. At the end of the day, we are here to make Iowa State University as inclusive to all students of all identities.
