Introduction
Diversity and inclusion (DI) are increasingly important issues in colleges and universities around the world. In addition to allowing schools to respond directly to changing societal needs, implementing diversity and inclusion practices can help to improve retention rates of students, staff, and faculty as well as help students feel more integrated and succeed in the educational experience. ISM is dedicated to its goal of embodying the gold standards for diversity and inclusion practices in higher education.
ISM's DI Committee
The Diversity and Inclusion Committee was started at ISM in the spring of 2018. The goal of the committee is to oversee ISM’s diversity and inclusion initiatives related to the recruitment, retention, and graduation of its population. As part of their responsibilities, the Committee will review diversity and inclusion plans, assess the outcomes and impacts of these plans, suggest improvements, review academic papers that are submitted on the topic of diversity and inclusion, as well as actively provide resources and best practices.
