The Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science is committed to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) for facilitating a friendly, free and formative academic environment as well as a congenial work environment conductive to furthering the departmental mission - student learning, teaching, creative research and service to the profession and society at large.

Plans for promoting DEI within the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science:

1. We shall create a DEI committee comprising 3 faculty members, 4 students and 1 staff member.  The committee is charged to regularly examine DEI issues pertaining.  Chair is Aixin Tan;  staff member is Margie Ebert; two additional faculty are tbd.  Students were nominated by the graduate SSO (Statistics Student Organization) and SDO (Statistics and Data Science Organization) and by the Actuarial Science Club. 
2. The departmental Executive Committee will annually review departmental polices related to DEI issues pertaining to the faculty.
3. The DEO will work with the Departmental Administrator to annually review DEI issues pertaining to the staff.

The Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the Diversity Councils, and the Graduate College are pleased to announce this semester’s Hawks of Color event schedule.

Hawks of Color is a place of welcome and community building while celebrating excellence! Formerly Faculty and Staff of Color, Hawks of Color is a re-envisioned community space to support and promote conversations among historically underrepresented, global majority, and/or marginalized faculty, staff, postdocs, and students at the University of Iowa. In addition to uplifting our voices and brilliance, attendees will have an opportunity to gather with each other.
