Effective September 2021, the College of Arts and Sciences has begun a process to create a Strategic Plan for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). The work is led by a Strategic Plan committee (SPC) composed of 12 staff and faculty from the Dean’s Staff Diversity Advisory Committee, Faculty Diversity Advisory Committee and Senior Leadership Team. The strategic planning process is divided into four phases to be completed in fall 2022. We look forward to sharing our progress on this exciting and important effort.
Strategic Plan Committee (SPC)
Comprised of the associate dean for DEI and 11 staff and faculty drawn from the Dean’s Diversity Advisory Committees, the SPC reports to the Dean’s Leadership Team, conducts research, drafts strategy statements, and communicates and interacts with key constituents for the purpose of informing, developing and disseminating a strategic plan for the College.
