Reception for the Envoys Fellows!

SNRE Envoys is a cross-disciplinary group of Masters Students working to promote and strengthen diversity within the student population of the school. Our group is focused on improving our recruiting strategy for under-represented groups in the school. This can include everything from ethnic to geographic to socio-economic to ideological diversity and much more. We are also looking to strengthen SNRE by having events that celebrate diversity and involve the whole SNREd community in the ongoing discussion about this important topic.
