The School of Social Welfare’s Equity Diversity and Inclusion Standing Committee (EDISC) aims to cultivate and sustain an inclusive School of Social Welfare at Stony Brook University. The committee’s primary goal is to ensure that the school community is a welcoming and inclusive environment for all which challenges injustice. The committee is charged with ongoing assessment of school climate around issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion and recommends strategies to address inequities. We view our students, faculty, and staff as ambassadors for fundamental freedoms, social justice and respect for the differences of others. The committee is comprised of representatives from all areas (faculty, staff, student services, field education) and includes representation from both the BSW and MSW student body.
