The University of Oregon’s Division of Equity and Inclusion is putting the muscle of money behind the effort to multiply and spread inclusion proficiency across campus.
Vice President Yvette Alex-Assensoh is unveiling the Division of Equity and Inclusion’s Staff Professional Development Grant, to help UO employees develop skills that facilitate the institutionalization of equity, inclusion and diversity on campus.
The grant includes attending a conference for the purpose of learning new skills, completing online course work, developing training expertise or honing existing skills in support of equity, inclusion and diversity. Eligible staff may receive as much as $1,200 per academic year to cover expenses related to professional development consistent with the goals of the IDEAL framework.
VP Alex-Assensoh will share information on the process and timeline for grant application and award, at the special officers of administration meeting on May 26, 2016, 10:00-11:30 a.m. at the Ford Alumni Center Giustina Ballroom (and by webcast in Portland at the White Stag Building Room 150).
