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 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 became a part of the DEI Student Advisory Committee because I wanted to become a person who can facilitate positive and effective change for the CMU community. I wanted to challenge myself to be more involved and to take initiative in a role that leaves a lasting impact on the student body. Moreover, I strongly believe in the goal of making CMU more diverse, equitable, and inclusive, and hope that my colleagues and I will be successful as its founding members.

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 want to serve on the DEI Student Advisory Committee to help drive a relationship between students of color and the College of Engineering. Feeling inclusive is important, so I want to help foster comfortability and community in each of the engineering departments. I believe this committee is a vital key to advancing DEI in engineering at CMU.

Carnegie Mellon is the institution that taught me that inclusion and belonging is a two-way street, and that diversity cannot be judged solely by appearances. For inclusion to be truly possible, students must share their stories and ask for help, and CMU must listen and take action. I am serving on the DEI Student Advisory Committee to help connect and empower both sides of the inclusion equation.

I am excited to be a part of the DEI Student Advisory Committee to contribute my  passion for promoting diversity and inclusion in the engineering field. Together with the members of this committee, I hope to foster an equitable environment where all voices are heard and celebrated, ensuring that our the CMU community reflects the diverse world we live in.

Platforms, tools and resources are powerful things in the hands of those whose voices are seldom heard. I serve on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee to be able to deliver these platforms, tools and resources to the right people, empowering them to realize their potential.

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 believe the most empowering feeling is a sense of belonging. It supplies people not only with the tools to be successful, but the confidence to utilize them. The reason I am serving on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Student Advisory Committee is to promote this sense of belonging for all students.

I joined the SAC because I believe that the CMU community should be a welcoming place for all and the best way to do so is getting actively involved, especially in the SAC, where these kinds of initiatives can make a huge impact in a student's life.

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.
