Dartmouth serves nearly 7,000 students in 61 undergraduate and 19 graduate programs. Several committees and departments address issues of campus diversity. Among these include the Council on Cultural Diversity, the Cultural Affairs Committee, the Women’s Resource Center , and the Office of Equal Opportunity, Diversity, and Outreach.

UMass Dartmouth has recently established a Center for Teaching and Learning as a way to increase attention to issues of pedagogy and inclusive teaching. The Center has sponsored faculty workshops on diversity, but there is currently no on-going organizational structure where faculty can connect around issues of inclusive teaching and pedagogy. NECIT will address this gap.
