\"\"In April, The Vanderbilt Center for Teaching partnered with The Office of Inclusive Excellence and The Office for Career Development at The Graduate School to provide an introductory workshop on developing a written diversity statement. The session was facilitated by Graduate Teaching Fellow Sara Beck<\/strong> and CFT Assistant Director Joe Bandy<\/strong> and featured a Q&A panel with Ruth Schemmer<\/strong> (Asst. Dean for Graduate Career Development), Melissa Thomas-Hunt<\/strong> (Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence), and Tiffany Galvin Green<\/strong> (Assistant Provost for Inclusive Excellence).<\/p>\n

The 14 participants were introduced to several approaches to developing and writing a diversity statement and given an opportunity to begin generating ideas on their own and in small groups. The workshop was well-attended by graduate students, post-docs, and early career faculty, and the widespread interest in the topic prompted Beck to create a teaching guide aimed at introducing graduate students and job seekers to this increasingly important piece of the job application portfolio.<\/p>\n

The guide is now available on the CFT website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
