EPA invites applications to serve on advisory council for Historically Black
Colleges and Universities and Minority Serving Institutions
WASHINGTON – Today, March 25, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) announced that it will be seeking applications to serve on the newly
established Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Serving
Institutions Advisory Council (HBCU-MSI AC). The HBCU-MSI Advisory Council
will provide independent advice and recommendations to Administrator Michael
S. Regan and future Administrators on how Historically Black Colleges and
Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) can help
identify any barriers to equal employment opportunity, nurture the next
generation of environmental leaders, and ensure that these vital institutions
of higher learning have the resources and support to thrive for generations to
come.
“We are embarking on a transformative journey by establishing the first ever
HBCU-MSI Advisory Council, a major step forward in our commitment to
diversity, equity, and inclusion at EPA. By harnessing the unique insights and
energy of students and faculty from HBCUs and MSIs, we are ensuring the future
of environmental leadership is diverse and dynamic,” said EPA Administrator
Michael S. Regan. “This council will be instrumental in shaping our policies
and priorities, keeping the voices of the next generation at the heart of our
mission to protect the environment and public health. It’s a critical move
towards building a workforce that truly reflects the diversity of America, and
I am excited for the innovative solutions and fresh perspectives that will
emerge from this collaboration.”
Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) are institutions of higher education and
include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving
Institutions (HSIs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and Asian
American and Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AAPISIs). This federal
advisory committee is part of EPA’s comprehensive effort to advance equity
in economic and educational opportunities for all Americans while protecting
public health and the environment.
On June 21, 2021, President Biden signed Executive Order 14035 to advance
diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the Federal
workforce. This Executive Order reaffirmed that the United States is at its
strongest when our nation’s public servants reflect the full diversity of
the American people. The HBCU-MSI AC furthers the work being done at EPA and
across the administration to ensure all persons receive equal treatment under
the law and that our federal workforce draws upon all parts of society because
our greatest accomplishments are achieved when diverse perspectives are
brought to bear to overcome our greatest challenges.
EPA is soliciting applications to fill 15-20 vacancies on the HBCU-MSI AC from
a variety of sectors including, but not limited to, representatives from
business and industry, academia, non-governmental organizations, and local,
county, and Tribal governments that have experience working at or in
partnership with HBCUs and/or MSIs. Selected applicants will be appointed by
the Administrator to serve a 2-year term and contribute to a balance of
perspectives, backgrounds, and experience of the council.  
Applications to the HBCU-MSI AC are due by Wednesday, May 8, 2024, at 11:59
p.m. ET. To apply for appointment, the below information is required:
