DELAWARE, Ohio – Ohio Wesleyan University is launching a new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Grant program to support projects by students and employees that advance the OWU campus as an antiracist space.
The university-funded program will award grants twice each year of up to $1,500 for students and $5,000 for faculty and staff. All grants will be awarded and overseen by Ohio Wesleyan’s Council on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
“Ohio Wesleyan’s DEI Grants enable everyone on campus to think about and act upon ideas to improve the campus climate,” said Dawn Chisebe, Ohio Wesleyan’s interim chief diversity officer and chair of the DEI Council. “Everyone is excited by the potential the grants have to help us continue to advance the university and the environment it provides.”
