Global Diversity & Inclusion and the Diversity Action Council (DAC) seek to promote a positive campus climate for diversity and inclusion, support the development of culturally-responsive curriculum, diversity education and learning offerings, diversity programming, and assist in the recruitment and retention of a diverse student body, faculty, staff, and administration.
Support may be requested for diversity-related, culturally responsive curricular development projects, campus events, programs, or research.
