Developing a Written Diversity Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this workshop, we will discuss evidence-based practices for writing a diversity statement for the academic job market.\u00a0Increasingly, universities and colleges are requesting that faculty job applicants provide a statement addressing how they\u00a0plan to contribute to inclusive excellence in their professional lives. Sometimes, a job ad will request that applicants address\u00a0diversity in the cover letter or the teaching statement, but a request for a stand-alone diversity statement is becoming more\u00a0common. From the perspective of the university, the purpose of this document is to verify that an applicant has a commitment\u00a0to diversity in his or her work within higher education, including scholarship, teaching, service, mentoring, and advising.<\/p>\n

This session will introduce several approaches to developing and writing a diversity statement and give participants an\u00a0opportunity to begin generating ideas on their own and in small groups.<\/p>\n

Date<\/strong>: Friday, February 21
\nTime<\/strong>: 1:00-2:30 pm
\nLocation<\/strong>: CFT Classroom
\nFacilitators<\/strong>:\u00a0Rachel Gould and Leah Roberts, CFT Graduate Teaching Fellow<\/p>\n
