Workforce and Diversity Committee
The overall goal of the Committee is to strengthen AURA’s role in increasing the participation from underrepresented groups as well as institutions and geographic areas that have not had the opportunity to contribute to AURA’s mission and the overall field of astronomy. This will contribute to AURA’s objective and that of its funding agencies to preparing a diverse, globally engaged science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce.
