Enabling Transparency and Accountability
More than just words, part of our institutional commitment in launching the University Diversity Strategic Plan was to promote transparency and accountability for progress.
Celebrating Progress
The university community came together on November 15, 2023, for the first bi-annual Diversity Plan Progress Summit. We heard from university leaders about our institutional goals and how collaboration is driving progress. We also learned how Rutgers is moving from words to action in implementing its University Diversity Strategic Plan, working in earnest to develop a university community where everyone can thrive. Collectively we reaffirmed Rutgers' commitment to excellence and inclusion deliberately.
Work Toward Inclusion
Our Commitment
Located in one of the most diverse states in the country, diversity is Rutgers’ strength. Work Towards Inclusion is a clarion call to ensure that our diversity is not a product of happenstance but a result of intentional efforts. University Equity and Inclusion stewards the university diversity plan and engages the Rutgers community on a journey towards greater equity and inclusion to sustain our commitment to develop a vibrant and inclusive culture.
