August 2022 Issue
A monthly forum to share diversity, equity, and inclusion resources.
Welcome to the next installment of Read.Watch.Listen. Many past issues of Read.Watch.Listen have focused on why DEI practices are important to our industry. August’s resources provide ideas and suggestions for how DEI practices can be incorporated in our industry. While DEI practices take time and energy to incorporate, these resources will help industry leaders as they build more inclusive and equitable cultures.

Read.Watch.Listen is a monthly forum hosted by the NCSEA SE3 Committee to share and promote conversations on diversity, equity and inclusion within the structural engineering profession. Each month, we will curate a series of articles, audio-visual and digital media to facilitate self-education in matters that affect our professional practice as structural engineers. Whether you choose to read, watch, or listen (or all three!), we hope you will join us in this important conversation.
