Explore the various initiatives by the Division of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion currently underway at Dickinson. Contact Vice President & Chief Diversity Officer Tony Boston at bostont@dickinson.edu for additional information about any of these efforts.
Inclusive Pedagogy Grant
The Inclusive Pedagogy Grant provides a pathway for our brilliant Dickinson educators, who often serve as thought leaders in their fields, to reflect on current instructional strategies and plan and implement innovative approaches that create a learning environment where all students may thrive.
IDEAL Innovation Grant
The IDEAL Grant focuses on projects led by forward-thinking staff who wish to enhance a sense of community, belonging, engagement and/or collaboration within Dickinson’s work environment. This goal is in alignment with the IDEAL principles (inclusion, diversity, equity, access and leadership) and with Dickinson’s Inclusivity Strategic Plan.
Faculty & Staff Affinity Groups
These voluntary, employee-led groups are characterized as inclusive spaces that build community, increase engagement, expand social networks and strengthen the sense of belonging. Affinity groups are available for faculty and staff who identify as Black/African American, Latinx or LGBTQ+.
Faculty Fellow Program
The Faculty Fellow for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion program is open to scholars in any discipline whose research engages topics of race, ethnicity, power, class, gender, sexuality, religion, ability or social justice. The Fellow will work closely with one of the centers within the division and will collaborate with the vice president and Chief Diversity Officer on an area of strategic importance.
