Provost's Council on Diversity, Multicultural Learning and Inclusive Excellence

In 2007, the Provost's Council on Inclusive Excellence developed a campus-wide theme to create synergy around around a common diversity-related topic.  The campus-wide theme was launched in Winter Quarter 2008 and will continue during Winter Quarter 2009 and Winter Quarter 2010.

The campus-wide theme is:

Identity: Individuality, Community, Humanity
Exploring our identity to understand ourselves, others, and how we relate in the world.

If you are interested in learning more about the campus-wide theme or would like to contribute programs to the theme topic, please contact Mary Ho.  To apply for the identity grant, download the complete application form.
