What We're About
The Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Committee of the Society for Epidemiologic Research (SER) is dedicated to fostering a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community within the organization. The committee meets monthly and operates through four focused Working Groups: SERvisits, Survey, Programming, and Communications.
What We Do and How to Get Involved
- Develop and implement strategic initiatives that promote D&I within SER and the broader epidemiologic community.
- Design, conduct, and analyze surveys to inform Society priorities and assess progress toward D&I goals.
- Collaborate with other SER committees and leadership to ensure that D&I principles are systematically integrated into the Society’s programs, governance, and member engagement.
