Prof. Sara A. Pozzi was appointed Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) within the College of Engineering (COE).
“I am excited to have the opportunity to serve the college community in the newly-established position of Director of DEI for the COE. It is critical to our mission to create an equitable and inclusive environment where our students, faculty, and staff can thrive and do their best work. We have a unique opportunity here at Michigan to be national and international leaders in DEI. The UM President and other members of the leadership team have made DEI a priority, and we have a talented and committed base of individuals that can bring change at the unit and department level. I am honored to be a part of this effort and I will work very hard to have a positive impact in this area.”
Prof. Pozzi is passionate about diversity issues, as demonstrated by her work with the University of Michigan’s STRIDE (Strategies and Tactics for Recruiting to Improve Diversity and Excellence) committee. In this capacity, she helps develop and teach workshops on unconscious bias and stereotype threat. She has given many seminars on this topic both nationally and internationally. In addition, she has experience as mentor and role model to many female and minority students, postdocs, and research faculty.
