UGA diversity committee focused on three priorities
March 10, 2021
Over the past several months, members of the University of Georgia’s Planning Committee on Diversity and Inclusive Excellence have been doing a lot of listening – to students, to faculty and staff, to alumni and community members.
This period of in-depth listening and information gathering is helping the committee to develop goals to accomplish the following diversity priorities: 1) to build a more inclusive living/learning environment that supports access and success for diverse students; 2) to recruit and retain a diverse workforce; and 3) to expand partnerships and outreach to strengthen diverse communities.
“The committee’s purpose is to develop a plan that supports and sustains the University of Georgia’s diversity and inclusion efforts over the next five years,” said Michelle Cook, DIE co-chair and UGA’s vice provost for diversity and inclusion and strategic university Initiatives. “I love this place, the University of Georgia, and I recognize our capacity to be leaders in diversity and inclusion in higher education. And I think that this plan will help us get closer to that goal.”
