the why behind dei
“The space to share ideas and opinions from all perspectives and backgrounds is what makes higher education unique and valuable. It is from this exchange of ideas where true learning and transformation can occur within ourselves and our nation. Through advancing diversity, equity and inclusion, we are able to find our voice and commit to action that leads to change.”
Vice President & Chief Diversity Officer, Khalilah A. Shabazz, Ph.D.
