ISIEC Statement of Purpose

The Infrastructure and Sustainability Inclusive Excellence Committee (ISIEC) consists of staff, students and campus members who are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive workplace where individual talents and differences are encouraged, embraced and developed.

Our committee supports the CU Boulder Strategic Imperatives by focusing on the Learn and Accountability action areas of the CLIMB initiative within the IDEA plan. We demonstrate the VCIS Strategic Plan values of Teamwork, Engagement and Employee Empowerment to achieve the goal of Developing a Healthy Organizational Culture.

We recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion in being a global leader in education and research. We passionately accept the opportunity to contribute to a model campus that attracts and retains empowered and engaged staff.
