The UC Davis Department of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has a focused group of committees that work toward Inclusion, Diversity, Anti-Racism, and Equity (I-DARE) in their units/divisions.
Mission Statement: Our mission is to bring together the work of unit-level DEI committees, highlight their success stories, provide a platform for sharing DEI trends, best practices, and resources, and identify opportunities for division-wide DEI initiatives.
