Abstract	Racially and ethnically minoritized (REM) youth have been historically underrepresented in the field of school psychology due, in part, to poor program climate. Numerous strategies to increase the recruitment and retention of REM school psychology students have been put forth. Despite this, concerns regarding program climate remain and calls for the increased diversification of the field continue. The purpose of this article is to put forth the use of diversity committees (DCs) as a way to increase the recruitment and retention of REM students within school psychology. We present two case examples of DCs implemented in school psychology graduate programs. We conclude with implications, as well as future research needs as it relates to the examination of effectiveness and implementation of DCs. (As Provided).
