History of the CEC
The CEC was formed in 2008 by President Alice Gast; it was comprised of staff, faculty, and students, and charged with advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts on campus. After six years of leading DI&E efforts and advocacy on campus, a restructured CEC recommended the creation of an office and staff dedicated to this crucial work.
When John Simon assumed the presidency in 2015, one of his first actions was to create a position on campus to lead institutional DI&E efforts. In early 2017, Donald Outing took the helm as Lehigh’s first vice president for equity and community. The CEC continues to work in tandem with Dr. Outing to this day.
