Meeting Schedule

Goals

Ultimately, the goal of the Commission is to accomplish our stated mission of promoting and embracing diversity and multiculturalism at CSUCI by assessing our needs in these areas and engaging in open dialogue to identify and promote methods for improvement.

To accomplish this goal, the Commission is currently in the process of gathering information about diversity perceptions on campus through surveys and focus groups for students, staff and faculty. We anticipate that this information will help us develop and prioritize the specific plan of action to achieve our mission.
