Culture and Diversity Annual Report

During the past year, the SIG group has been inactive. The president has experienced some personal problems that have prevented him from completing all his duties. However, we can report that we have accepted new members of the Facebook group. In addition, our secretary has been very active in participating in podcasts speaking about equity and systems change, and advocating for inclusive higher education in individuals with autism. Our continuous goal for this year consists of increasing our social media presence, developing a website, and creating a podcast with themes related to inclusion, diversity, and culture in different countries. In addition, we have not made changes to our by-laws. In our SIG we are always open to including people from different cultural, racial, and sexual backgrounds. In fact, most of our current Facebook members are from different groups. We have not completed an activity targeting DEI activities; however, we hope to accomplish this goal during this year.
