On September 9, Institute Diversity hosted the Seventh Annual Diversity Symposium, an all-day forum for robust discussions among faculty, staff, and students on issues tied to building and sustaining an inclusive campus community.

Following the Office of the President’s listening sessions on gender equity last fall, Georgia Tech identified 11 initiatives that will be implemented over the next two years.

The Diversity Champion Awards recognize faculty, staff, students, and units who significantly demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion within the Georgia Tech community. Nominations will be accepted until May 26, 2017.

For the past four years, Institute Diversity has published Faces of Inclusive Excellence to recognize individuals who are committed to advancing a culture of inclusive excellence at Georgia Tech.

In light of the theme, “Building Inclusive Communities,” the Diversity Symposium featured lectures, panels, and performances that explored the impact and implications of race and class on individual success and community engagement in higher education.

When you think of diversity champions at Georgia Tech, is there a particular member of the faculty, staff, or student population, or a unit (e.g., college, department, school, or lab) that comes to mind?
