The Pratt Institute Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Council, established in 2019, is dedicated to advancing Pratt’s DEI Strategic Plan, comprised of 30 members representing students, faculty, and staff. Chaired by the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the Council meets multiple times throughout the academic year. Serving on the Council includes establishing direction and strategy, identifying resources, and tracking progress on strategic objectives. The Council delivers an annual progress report, reinforcing Pratt’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
