Equity Task Force

The Issue

While we are committed to making the university more diverse and inclusive to all, we recognize that supporting people of color — especially Black students, faculty and staff — is an area that needs greater focus.

The Innovation

Purdue will enact a comprehensive set of initiatives and action plans focusing on representation, experience and success for Black Boilermakers over the next five years.

The Investment

We will create recruitment programs, expand mentoring and community-building initiatives, enhance career development and attract and support the work of Black scholars.

The Impact

Working together with the community, the task force is charged with amplifying Black Boilermaker representation on campus, increasing opportunities for students, faculty, staff and alumni, and enhancing the lives of all members of the Purdue community.
