Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in CARTA

In the Fall of 2020, Dean Brian Schriner convened students, faculty and staff to come up with concrete actions and strategies to increase diversity, equity and inclusion in CARTA. This led to the formation of the CARTA Dean’s DEI Task Force, which advises the dean and leads a variety of DEI initiatives.  
 
CARTA subscribes to the values of Diversity, Equity and inclusion of Florida International University, and we understand our unique role as communicators, designers and artists to contribute to making CARTA, FIU and our communities places where everyone is valued, safe and no one has to hide or change who they are.

“We recognize our responsibility to foster an open, welcoming, and inclusion environment of belonging. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and our community of all backgrounds should be able to collaboratively learn and work. Diversity enriches our university community and is a driving force instrumental to our institutional success.”

“FIU has a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are committed to ensuring our faculty and staff reflect the diversity of our local community and our student body. We commit to engaging in an ongoing  and thoughtful dialogue about the changing realities of our increasingly interconnected world. We will continually strive to work together to address the challenges of the future in a way that removes barriers to success and promotes a culture of inclusivity, compassion, and mutual respect within the classroom, workplace, and in all aspects of life.”

We are committed to confronting racism in all its forms, and acknowledge that racism is an integral part of our society,  and that we have to be intentional about being anti racist
