As part of a large institution, there are a number of resources that the University of Georgia provides to its students, faculty and staff. A goal of this committee is to make external resources, as well as internal resources within the University of Georgia, available and accessible to students in our department. We work under the guidance of the University, expanding upon what initiatives exist and providing additional support, resources, and action items relevant at the department scale. UGA’s Office of Institutional diversity offers resources such as information regarding the University’s diversity and inclusion efforts, campus resources and organizations, support for diversity related events, scholarship opportunities, and many others. Additionally, the Mary Frances Early College of Education offers training and certificates related to diversity and inclusion. Following the unjust killings of George Floyd and many other Black Americans in Summer 2020, the University has introduced a number of new initiatives to facilitate action and conversations surrounding issues of diversity and inclusion. As a UGA student, faculty or staff there are frequent email communications regarding University events. The resources provided below are helpful for becoming knowledgeable about UGA’s efforts to cultivate a diverse and inclusive community and to be aware of what resources the University provides to the members of the UGA community. The Marine Sciences DEI committee has and will continue to collaborate with UGA’s resources. At the end of this list of resources are a small number of the Department of Marine Science specific resources including our Graduate Student Committee and our local chapter of the Society of Women in Marine Science.
