Diversity in Action Group (DIAG)

Student Equity Plan


Mission The mission of the Diversity in Action Work Group is to ensure that unity through diversity is among the College of San Mateo's highest priorities. DIAG supports diversity through programming by granting programming funds for college-wide events that support the college commitment to diversity and inclusiveness. There is an annual allocation to the workgroup by the college president that allows the group to further their mission. The availability of funds is advertised by sending emails to all faculty members through Academic Senate and to all staff members through the Classified Senate.

The Diversity in Action Work Group was formed during the Spring semester, 2018. DIAG was formerly the Diversity Planning Committee. The mission of the Diversity Planning Committee is now undertaken by the Educational Equity Committee.
