Program Overview

Diversity

Stakeholders expose one another to the fullest possible variety of human identities, experiences, values, and worldviews.

Inclusion

Stakeholders engage one another as full participants in organizational activity, communicating mutual respect, consideration, and appreciation.
To energize progress toward equity, diversity, and inclusion goals, program participants will learn to embed these essential motivators into EDI initiatives:
