Vicki V. May, the Director of the Academic Department Climate Initiative and a professor of engineering at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth, leads an initiative to improve departmental climates for all. The Academic Department Climate Initiative is committed to supporting department-led change by providing meaningful climate data to promote awareness around climate issues, initiate productive discussions, foster local ownership of climate, and inform department-led improvements in policies, norms, and interactions. The initiative involves administering climate surveys in each academic department, holding workshops to help interpret the responses, and implementing change as needed to improve department climate for all.
