Diversity Coordinators

Meet our 2024-2025 Diversity Coordinators.

Diversity Coordinators (DCs) are iLead student employees who have been tasked with the vital role of creating programs and supporting students as they explore their cultures and identities on campus. Each Diversity Coordinator mentors 1-2 first year students and also develops student-facing programming over the course of the year.
