Staff Advancing Diversity & Inclusion (SADI)

SADI DEI Goal Initiative

Last year, Staff Advancing Diversity and Inclusion (SADI) launched an initiative to encourage staff to create diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)  goals in their annual reviews. So far, many of our colleagues have set goals related to SADI and other DEI offerings, including developing strategic plans or policies in their units, improving hiring processes, and purchasing from diverse vendors. Supportive supervisors, dedicated time, access to professional development funds, and learning opportunities with SADI were instrumental factors for staff to meet their goals. 

If you’d like to join SADI’s DEI goal initiative in 2024, you can sign up for the initiative here and view our guidance for setting DEI goals. 

If you’re interested in learning more about SADI, serving on a SADI subcommittee, or collaborating with us in the future, email us!

Become a DEI Coach | Sign Up Here
The DEI student coaches program has been established to support students across our Medical School’s campuses who have encountered a challenging situation (such as mistreatment/harassment, micro/macroaggressions, navigating the hidden curriculum of medical school) in the learning environment–particularly in clinical rotations. The mentorship program is open to all and particularly aims to provide support to students with marginalized identities. This program is supported by Undergraduate Medical Education, the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, and ODEI at the Medical School.

Watch the School of Public Health’s SPH Antiracism Animated Video Series: Equality vs. Equity vs. Justice
Check out the third video in the School of Public Health's antiracism animated video series: How do we make health data more equitable? The video highlights how health science data is often WEIRD, or representative of Western/White, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic populations. Ensuring research participants and teams are non-WEIRD helps our community promote accurate and equitable public health data.
