Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness

Colorado State's M.A. Program is highly committed to diversity in philosophy. The program fosters an atmosphere of respect and inclusiveness in its seminars and in life around the department. This atmosphere starts with the departmental orientation for incoming graduate students each August - where these issues are discussed - and continues throughout the academic year with one-on-one meetings between individual graduate students and faculty mentors, and also in group meetings (e.g. meetings of women faculty with women graduate students) to provide additional support to under-represented groups in philosophy.
