HumEcathon takes on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
May 7, 2021
The College of Human Ecology held its fourth annual HumEcathon, a hackathon-style design challenge, on May 1, bringing together 27 undergraduates to work in multidisciplinary teams on this year’s topic of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives on campus.
Organized by the Dean’s Undergraduate Advisory Council (DUAC), the event was inspired by an information session for prospective students that had stuck with the members of DUAC.
“While a lot of other colleges have large information sessions, we had a very small, intimate setting where we were seated with four or five other prospective students,” Isabella Harnick, (PAM ‘21), event co-founder, organizer, and Co-President of DUAC recalled.
