Saint Louis University School of Science and Engineering Achieves Bronze Level Recognition in the 2024-2026 ASEE Diversity Recognition Program

05/22/2024

Saint Louis University (SLU) is proud to announce that its School of Science and Engineering has been awarded the prestigious Bronze level recognition in the 2024-2026 ASEE Diversity Recognition Program (ADRP). This accolade places SLU among a select group of institutions nationwide acknowledged for their commitment to enhancing diversity and inclusion within their engineering and engineering technology programs.

The ADRP, established by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), aims to honor higher education engineering and engineering technology colleges that demonstrate substantial, measurable progress in promoting diversity, inclusion, and the academic success of their students. Unlike traditional rankings, the ADRP is a recognition program that allows all participating institutions to achieve recognition at the highest levels based on their demonstrated commitment and results.

Achieving the Bronze level recognition underscores Saint Louis University School of Science and Engineering's ongoing dedication to fostering an inclusive environment that supports the success of all students, particularly those from underrepresented groups in the field of engineering. The recognition is granted to schools that not only meet rigorous standards of inclusivity but also exhibit measurable outcomes in their efforts to increase diversity and degree completion rates.

"Receiving this recognition from ASEE is a tremendous honor and validates our proactive efforts to ensure diversity and inclusivity within our academic community," said Gregory Triplett, PhD., Dean of the School of Science and Engineering at SLU. "This accolade is a testament to the hard work of our faculty, staff, and students who are committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone."

Saint Louis University's School of Science and Engineering remains dedicated to continuing its efforts in advancing diversity and inclusion, with ongoing initiatives aimed at supporting a more diverse student body and faculty. This recognition by the ADRP serves as both an honor and a reminder of the importance of these efforts in the broader engineering and technology fields.
