In this presentation, Dr. Aradhna Tripati (UCLA) will show how she built communities of learning and practice to advance a culture of inclusion at the nation’s first university center for diversity in environmental science. By sharing key findings from pilot and demographic work, she will answer the questions: How can data and interventions transform science? How can we achieve systemic change and prioritize the retention of diverse scholars, improve institutional climates, and support faculty and early career development?
