Faculty & Staff Resources
Consultation and support on topics related to diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and mattering.
The Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) Faculty Fellows: The Fellows work with staff from the ODI and across campus on special projects and initiatives related to creating a greater sense of belonging on campus. The Fellows may also work with senior administrators and shared governance representatives to obtain input on the project and develop a report for the President’s Cabinet.
There are currently three faculty Fellows whose projects cover a wide range of campus DEI Efforts.
- One fellow is dedicated to the design, implementation, and assessment of in person training for faculty and staff on topics including but not limited to, implicit bias and identity development.
- One fellow is dedicated to the support of incorporating DEI into teaching, scholarship, and service for Faculty members. This work may include hosting open office hours and consultation space for faculty who need assistance in this endeavor.
- One fellow is dedicated to supporting DEIB engagement with students. This work may include, but is not limited to supporting the IDEAAA Special Interest Housing Community, training students on their role in DEI work on college campuses and more.
- All fellows are supporting efforts to develop a comprehensive diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategic plan. To create the DEI strategic plan, Fellows along with ODI staff and other campus leaders will review the University’s strategic plan and campus climate study, as well as seek input from students and employees from around campus. This plan will be developed on an ongoing basis in preparation for approval by the new Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
