CSR Diversity Affairs

The Diversity Affairs division of Case Western Reserve University's Committee of Student Representatives aims to provide and facilitate programming to foster an appreciation for all aspects that make us diverse, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, and socioeconomic diversity. We work toward creating a more cohesive and understanding learning environment for CWRU medical community as well as promote personal growth in all of the students.

The main responsibility of the CSR Diversity Affairs representative is planning Diversity Week with the DEI Office as well as the DAC 2.0 committee.
