Trainee-to-Tenure
Monday, June 13, 2022

Garth Fowler, PhD

An increasing number of institutions have made a commitment to hiring and retaining a diverse and inclusive staff. As part of that approach, many faculty job applications ask that you include a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) statement in your application materials. But what exactly is a DEI statement, and what goes in it?

Join this session to learn how to craft your DEI statement for your application package.

This is a hybrid event, register to join in person or online.
