Ready, Set, Go!
WHAT IS IT?
An optional (not mandatory) resource to support actionable DEI efforts across the Medical School. We hope this is a way in which we can all move forward together, but go about this work in ways that fit our values, our time, our stakeholders, our best interests, and our needs.
WHAT'S THE POINT?
To have action-oriented intentionality in DEI practices across the Medical School to engage all stakeholders. We have heard many requests from our DEI community asking for guidance on how to engage colleagues and students in diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. We intend for this to be a way in which we continue our DEI growth across the Medical School and to encourage collaboration and psychological safety among community.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We offer this as a way for you to create individual and collective action. Our office will share quarterly themed processes recommending how to engage. We ask you to approach this initiative in ways that work best for you and your department, modifying as needed. Please make sure to CONTACT US regarding stories and photos of the work you do so we can highlight your efforts in our monthly newsletter!
