A message from the Bailey College of Science and Mathematics
The Bailey College of Science and Mathematics strives to serve the needs and rights of our wonderfully expansive community of students, faculty, staff and alumni. Being thoughtful with plans and objectives is a first step in building a diverse, equitable and inclusive community.
Our college has a long history of prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion, and those actions have helped create a compassionate and welcoming community. We’re fortunate to have many dedicated champions helping us build a better college. Even so, we are keenly aware that there is much more to be done to improve the experience of those in the Bailey College with historically marginalized identities.
Students, faculty and staff in the Bailey College developed an Inclusion and Equity Action Plan as a road map for how we can work and live as a community where diversity is valued, equity is achieved and everyone belongs. We understand that compromising any of those essential elements for any individual will compromise the well-being of everyone.
Cal Poly has prioritized the critical necessity of incorporating diversity, equity and inclusion into every aspect of university operations. By doing so, we are better preparing our students to serve and care for the people in the state of California and beyond. The work detailed in our plan aligns our efforts with the university, and it enables us to better live through our values of love, empathy and respect.
Sincerely,
Dean E. Wendt, Dean
Joyce T. Lin, Associate Dean for Student Success, Inclusive Excellence and Curriculum
