Message from Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Greetings,
On behalf of the Herbert College of Agriculture, I want to personally welcome you to the Diversity and Inclusion unit of the College. Our goal is to serve as a catalyst for your academic, personal, and professional success via the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout all aspects of the College. We work to ensure that all stakeholders recognize the importance of diversity as we aim for academic excellence, character development, and innovation through the development and implementation of specialized programs, training opportunities, research endeavors, and student success initiatives. Our hope is that you will acquire vital cultural competencies to thrive in an ever-changing and increasingly diverse world. Below, you will find information on our diversity and inclusion programming and student organizations. If you have any questions or desire any assistance, please feel free to contact my office at cpicket3@utk.edu.
Craig Pickett, Jr. Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
