The DEI Spotlight is a monthly forum in the SEAONC Post in partnership with the SEAONC Structural Engineering Engagement and Equity (SE3) Committee to engage our members in the mission of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the structural engineering profession.
This month we’d like to share the pre-work resources that our firm leaders who participated in the Roundtable on Driving Innovation through DEI Strategies completed. Stay tuned for a best practices brief based on our findings from the roundtable.

• “These Factors Drive Black Men Out of Engineering School” article
• Robin DiAngelo’s video on “Why ‘I'm not a racist’ is only half the story” [This video has since been removed due to copyright issues between Youtube and the creators]
• Harvard Implicit Bias Test Skin Tone IAT or Race IAT
