Watson College stands committed to fostering a community that reflects our diverse society to ensure that its teaching, research, scholarship, and outreach programs include and serve a wide range of individuals.

We, therefore, develop structures and opportunities that improve the experience of all students, especially those who are underrepresented in engineering and computer science. Watson faculty, staff, and students assist in cultivating a community of members that are conscious of barriers to social mobility, exhibit and act on empathy and compassion, and advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), both within the college and beyond.
