PLATTEVILLE, Wis. — The University of Wisconsin-Platteville’s College of Engineering, Mathematics and Science is being celebrated for its commitment to diversity and inclusion. 

The American Society of Engineering Education recently recognized the college with the Bronze Level Award for the ASEE Diversity Program – the highest-level award issued this cycle.  

“We are so pleased to take the next step with other engineering colleges across the nation that are committed to inclusive excellence,” said Dr. Molly Gribb, dean of the College of EMS. “One of my first actions, upon joining UW-Platteville as dean in 2015, was to join over 100 other engineering deans in signing the ASEE's Engineering Deans' Diversity Pledge. The College of EMS remains committed to providing increased opportunities to pursue engineering careers to women and other underrepresented groups.”

The university’s nationally-recognized Women in STEM program serves approximately 1,000 students, in addition to offering outreach programs for girls in K-12. The College of EMS also collaborates with the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion to offer STEM Discovery, a one-week residential precollege outreach program designed to support exploring STEM careers for underrepresented minority students.
