The Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering is dedicated to creating a climate that amplifies and nurtures practices of community, opportunity, and engagement (COE), not just through words but through actions.

To conduct this work, we have established a COE Committee and set the following three goals for this committee:

  1. To understand and address ongoing climate issues that emerge in our community.
  2. To enrich our intellectual engagement by supporting department members pursuing work and holding events related to COE.
  3. To build a long term accountability plan that gives the department multiple opportunities to sustain, reflect on, and continually revise our practices in order to achieve such an environment.
