Steering Committee

The Steering Committee provides guidance and support for the work of the Consortium for Equity in Graduate Education and its members embody the principles of equity and inclusion that the Consortium is working to build in graduate programs and divisions across the country.

We are very pleased to bring scholarly expertise, practitioner wisdom, and student priorities to the work of the Consortium by assembling a leading group of STEM faculty, students, and higher education leaders who demonstrate a strong commitment to advancing more equitable admission and mentoring practices in graduate education.
