DEI Fellows Program
The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Fellows program is designed to provide Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s faculty and staff with opportunities to develop competency & praxis in equity and inclusion. Fellows will design and develop a project for the fellowship year, culminating in a campus-wide training or initiative. Our community is committed to institutional change, and we hope this fellows program provides additional concrete ways of engaging in deep, meaningful equity and inclusion work.
Requirements & Eligibility
Fellowship is for two academic years (year one: September 1, 2024 through May 30, 2025; year two: August 1, 2025 through June 1, 2026)
Fellows will be expected to commit to and complete both years
Each fellow will receive a stipend of $2000 per year for their participation in the DEI Fellows program
This will be paid as a PSA & paid monthly
All full-time staff and faculty/adjunct/contract renewable are eligible to apply (i.e., tenure-track or tenure is not a requirement for application)
