Action Plan for Inclusive Excellence

Our Process

Each year, the Dean invites offices to participate in the development of our annual action plan. In collaboration with Elliott's Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI), Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council (DEIC), and the school's leadership, these strategies are reviewed and synthesized to identify any gaps. A draft plan is then shared with our community for feedback with the goal of publishing our action plan in the fall semester of each year.
