The Vergnano Institute for Inclusion is a proactive and adaptive organization with distributed governance that will nurture and sustain an anti-racist and anti-discriminatory culture. The Institute will be a resource for the College of Engineering and the communities we serve to empower people from all backgrounds. Inspired by the strength of diversity and inclusion, we will be an equity-minded community where engineers innovate and change the world for the better.
