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.
