The Center for Faculty Excellence, the Office of the Associate Provost for Diversity and Inclusion, and the Office of International Programs and Extended Studies are collaborating to facilitate the continuation of the conversation we began last September. This year, we propose to underscore more pointedly the relationship between domestic inclusion and global citizenship in keeping with the expectations of our institutional mission.
