November 13, 2024: Division of Inclusive Excellence 2024 Annual Report
By John Johnson, Vice President for Inclusive Excellence
The Division of Inclusive Excellence works across the College and with relevant stakeholders to cultivate a campus community where inclusive excellence drives decision-making at all levels; where decisions are guided by our commitment to equity and racial justice; where we proactively work to recruit, retain, and support faculty, staff and students that do not merely reflect diverse social group identities, but that also contribute to our core values of diversity, equity and inclusion and our institutional principles of inclusive excellence. The pursuit of inclusive excellence remains a shared responsibility of all members of the Whitman community. The work of the Division of Inclusive Excellence is trifurcated operationally and exercises horizontal influence across the institution. Our three operational areas include Identity and Belonging, Equity and Compliance, and Inclusive Excellence.
As we work to advance inclusive excellence at Whitman, we want to invite anyone from the campus community to feel free to submit suggestions and recommendations directly to the Division at diversity@whitman.edu. We welcome your feedback and input regarding this critical work.
