Student Advisory Committee

I want to serve on the DEI Student Advisory Committee because I want to help facilitate the discussions and mentorship that I myself appreciate while navigating higher academia. I have found invaluable support in mentors who come from similar backgrounds, and would like to provide others the opportunity to connect with mentors in the same way. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the cultural shift that I am starting to see in the CMU community.

I want to serve on the DEI Student Advisory Committee to give back to the Carnegie Mellon community at large. Arguably, just as important is to make sure I can pave a path that makes it easier for the people like me that come along long after I am gone. This committee is an amazing way to achieve both of these goals, and I'm looking forward to the impact we will make.

I want to serve on the DEI Student Advisory Committee as a way to gain more perspective on the DEI initiatives within the College of Engineering and pass this information along to my peers. I'd also like to act as a liaison between students and our DEI office to strengthen the communication between these two groups.

I wanted to serve on this committee to help bring student input into decision making. The voice of the students is powerful and everybody should have the chance to be heard. When we all have an equal footing within education, the possibility for innovation is endless.

I am excited to join the Student Advisory Council on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion because I am passionate about fostering an inclusive campus environment where every voice is heard and respected. I hope to contribute my perspective and ideas to help create meaningful change and, in turn, gain insights and experiences that will further my understanding of DEI issues, which I can apply in my future endeavors.

I joined the SAC out of my commitment to understanding and advocating for the struggles of others, particularly underrepresented and underserved communities. My hope is to contribute my unique perspective to inform student-led initiatives while continuing to learn from the diverse experiences of all communities on campus.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are parts of daily life that are frequently invisible yet have a significant impact on our successes, setbacks, and level of satisfaction. DEI is a component of the community that is entirely up to the individuals within the community to improvise in order to better serve them and improve the advantages that may be gained by utilizing our community's strengths. I joined the DEI advisory committee in order to support our community in utilizing its assets and collaborating with a group of remarkable people to create a better environment for all of us.

Carnegie Mellon has taught me that true diversity and inclusion require understanding and uplifting each other beyond appearances. As a member of the DEI Student Advisory Committee, I am committed to bridging the gap between students of color and the College of Engineering, fostering a supportive environment where every voice is heard and valued. I believe in creating a community that reflects and celebrates our diversity, ensuring all students feel a genuine sense of belonging.

I became a part of the SAC because I want to help create a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the CMU community. I want to ensure that students at CMU are provided with the sense of belonging that will help them succeed in their personal life and academic endeavors.

As part of this committee, I’m grateful to support student-led plans that strengthen diversity, equity, and inclusion at CMU. I believe that considering DEI cornerstones such as cultural humility in initiatives spanning student recruitment, campus experience, and career planning will foster a stronger sense of belonging in our global community.

I wanted to serve on the SAC to create engaging and thoughtful ways to advocate for all student’s voices. I want to contribute to outreach efforts that will increase participation in STEM fields from underrepresented communities and people from different socioeconomic backgrounds. I believe this committee is a catalyst for increasing inclusivity and diversity at CMU, and I hope to make an impact here.

I'm excited to serve on the College of Engineering DEI Committee and be a part of the community that encourages acceptance in the broader university population. I'd like to bring the experiences of an intersectional, international student to the committee.
