DEI Spotlight

DEI Committee: Call for Members

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is looking for additional members starting this month. Stemming from a core principle and value of Rutgers University Libraries, this committee centers its work on system-wide collective learning and growth.

In the last two years, the committee has:

  • published The ABCs of DEI: A DEI Glossary, a resource meant to provide Rutgers University Libraries personnel with a shared vocabulary related to diversity, equity, and inclusion
  • facilitated a Virtual Learning Community Book Club focused on What if I Say The Wrong Thing? by Verna Myers
  • developed 101 Self-Initiated Learning Journey, an asynchronous, self-paced Canvas course with eight modules

All of this work is intended to foster an inclusive environment and to equip Libraries colleagues to integrate DEI principles into their daily work.

We are looking for volunteers from all campuses and our central units. If interested, please contact Caroline Muglia (LLT liaison) and Zara Wilkinson (interim committee chair).

Visit the Staff Resources site to learn more about the committee and access The ABCs of DEI: A DEI Glossary.
