President's Council on Diversity and Inclusion
Achieving our goals for diversity, equity, and inclusion relies on the entire AU community coming together to move us collectively toward success.ÌýThe President’s Council on Diversity and Inclusion (PCDI) provides leadership for this work by bringing together faculty and staff from across campus who are formally charged with advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in their roles. PCDI serves as consultants, collaborators, and accountability partners to university leadership to advance the goals of the inclusive excellence plan. Members of the community are encouraged to communicate with the council atÌýDICouncil@american.edu
