How can we create a DEI Awards Program that demonstrates the university’s commitment toward advancing DEI campus-wide?
Several colleges across MSU’s campus have their own DEI Award Programs. By implementing a university-wide DEI Awards Program, it offers an opportunity for 1.) Sharing innovative DEI programming, practices and policies 2.) Encouraging consistent assessment for improvement of DEI efforts. Here are a few examples at MSU and outside of MSU that demonstrate the possibilities while providing a roadmap for implementing such a program.
