Seek to achieve a culture where everyone in the college is included, respected, and supported. The LSU College of Agriculture has been intentional in its diversity efforts since 1998. These past efforts include recruitment initiatives, a diversity conference, and training opportunities. Recently the LSU AgCenter and the college collaboratively created the Council for Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Change, which started its work in 2020. The council is composed of a cross-section of faculty, staff, administrators, and students. The results of the council’s early actions and the college’s concerted efforts include high-impact initiatives.
Assistant VP for Diversity, Inclusion, and Opportunity The LSU AgCenter and College of Agriculture named Monica Guient assistant vice president for diversity, inclusion, and opportunity. To fulfill the vision to be a more inclusive college, Guient works jointly with the council and the college to provide diversity and inclusion training, learning, and development opportunities; develop metric-based diversity and inclusion goals; and deploy resources to support student-centered programs and initiatives.
