DEI Advisory Councils
The DEI Advisory Councils at FSC serve as the enduring advisory bodies to the leadership of the College. Serving at the department level, these advisory councils identify concerns and recommend and develop practical and meaningful opportunities that sustain and enrich a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Through the guidance, planning, and analysis of our departmental advisory councils, the College can continue to provide a campus community of belonging.
College-Wide DEI Advisory Council
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Advisory Council of Farmingdale State College (FSC) is composed of justice-minded faculty, staff, and students who work in concert and under the guidance of the FSC Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusive Excellence and Chief Diversity Officer, Dr. Kevin Jordan. The Advisory Council supports and advocates for DEI-related initiatives that emerge from both FSC and SUNY. Lastly, the Advisory Council serves as a space to foster belongingness through programming and campus-wide representation including efforts to ameliorate DEI-related concerns that are brought to the Council's attention.
