About
MIT’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering seeks to welcome and include all members, irrespective of background or identity. All individuals are expected to treat others with respect and courtesy, irrespective of such factors as race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability, age, or national origin. We seek to cultivate an overall climate in which every person feels welcome, respected, and are able to develop to their full potential, thereby creating a community that can do the same.
This page summarizes the actions we are taking as a department to build an inclusive community and highlights our efforts to pursue an equitable, belonging, and inclusive workspace.
CEE Belonging, Achievement and Composition Committee
The CEE BAC committee is composed of faculty, staff, post-docs, and students who are charged with identifying opportunities and developing actionable plans to ensure we are making progress on our vision of a welcoming, diverse, and inclusive community culture.
The CEE BAC is excited to announce the launch of the CEE Graduate Application Assistance Program (GAAP). GAAP is a student-run initiative designed to assist applicants from groups underrepresented in STEM and students with non-traditional academic backgrounds. If you are applying to a PhD program in CEE this year, please visit https://cee.mit.edu/gaap/ to learn more.
