CENTER FOR ENGINEERING DIVERSITY
Fostering inclusion
About Us
Established in 1975, the Center for Engineering Diversity (CED) exists to assist The Viterbi School of Engineering in the recruitment, retention, and graduation of students from historically underrepresented backgrounds pursuing engineering degrees. This includes African-American, Hispanic, and Native American students.
The goal of CED is to foster a community of underrepresented scholars focused on academic, professional, and personal excellence. By partnering with Viterbi student affairs professionals, faculty, and corporate representatives, CED hosts programs and events that enhance students’ skills and build their networks for success.
CED is located in Ronald Tutor Hall (RTH) 210. Students can access the peer learning lounge 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The collaboration space is equipped with group and individual workstations, computers, and printers.
