Awards Available to Support a Mindful and Inclusive Community


The Diversity Council is pleased to announce the availability of funds for the 2008-09 academic year to support learning and activities that enhance our knowledge, awareness, and appreciation of diversity.

The Direction Six Subcommittee, Responding to Fiscal Challenges, of the Diversity Council has established an application process for these funds similar to the process for awarding internal Strategic Planning and Foundation Awards.  The Direction Six Subcommittee will review applications for activities that support diversity and inclusiveness and recommend awards from the available funds.

While all applications will be considered, special emphasis is being placed on awarding funds to support initiatives related to two key directions of the 2007-2011 Strategic Plan, Forging Connections: Serving Community Needs: 

Building Upon Human Capital
Enhancing our Physical Environment. 

Attached please find the application and more information about this new program.  The initial deadline to submit an application is June 13, 2008. Applications will be accepted throughout the year as long as funds remain available.
