Graduate Student Diversity Scholars -- http://graduateschool.vt.edu/diversity/scholars_program
What is a Diversity Scholar? Diversity scholars are graduate students who specialize in and advocate for the awareness, knowledge, and skills associated with diversity and inclusion in the Graduate School and greater community. A diversity scholar's goal is to create dialogue, provide advocacy, and implement change for a more diverse and inclusive experience for all graduate students, faculty, staff, and administrators. This involvement can take place in many forms and can be specific to a particular curriculum or department, or it can be more global. Contact Dannette Gomez Beane, gomezds@vt.edu, 540-231-6529.
