Diversity & Equity in Environmental Programs (DEEP) Collaborative Meeting:

Recent survey results from the DEEP network indicate a clear interest in the network and landscape analysis of environmental and diversity, equity, and inclusion focused organizations locally. To meet this need, we would like to invite you to our DEEP Zoom meeting on Thursday, October 1 at 12PM.

During this 1-hour meeting we will:

  • Engage in small group networking;
  • Learn about the Durham-Chapel Hill network analysis completed by Bhargavi Karumuri Jeyarajah and Emma Fulop; and
  • Participate in a solutions-focused small group workshop building from the network analysis.

If you’re planning to attend, please send me an email ( nicolette.cagle@duke.edu).

The DEEP Collaborative brings together Durham-Chapel Hill organizations and  initiatives that address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), K-12 education, and the environment.

The purpose of the DEEP Collaborative is to 1) facilitate the development and growth of environmental-focused diversity and inclusion programs in the Triangle and 2) identify potential areas of overlap and partnership.

A critical goal of the DEEP Collaborative is to build the capacity of environmental organizations to understand the local and global context of environmental injustice in relation to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and ability. The DEEP Collaborative also provides a means for community members to meet, share, and exchange ideas regularly. If you would like to be part of this network, please email me (nicolette.cagle@duke.edu).
