Elliott School Policy on Events
Any event with three or more speakers must consist of more than one gender. If a panel, symposium or other event with three or more speakers consists of a single gender, the moderator must be of a different gender.  This is part of the Elliott School’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. To this end, we support events and speakers that reflect our community’s diverse backgrounds and experiences including but not limited to race and ethnicity; gender identity and expression; age; sexual orientation and identity, religion, nationality, culture, and ideologies. We believe this diversity enriches the educational experience for all and encourage members of our community to strive towards achieving this goal when planning for events.

In an effort to accomplish our goals, the Elliott School's Council on Diversity and Inclusion provides monetary support (up to $1,000) for attracting diverse speakers and panelists. Approved requests must indicate that the program/event is co-sponsored by the Elliott School's Council on Diversity and Inclusion.
