Committees

Internal to the Irving Institute, we establish long-term committees in response to immediate needs as they emerge in our communities, and across campus. Working with our leadership, faculty and staff we organize and activate projects to effect change.

Past Projects

Through our initiatives and committees, the Institute harnesses the power of shared resources and partnerships to address ever-evolving needs. The marker of success is when these initiatives grow beyond their initial development phases and mature into stand-alone institutional pillars.
