The impact of these centrally funded initiatives can be seen in every area of university life: from student courses to community outreach, from research grants to recruitment policies, and from mentoring to teaching practices. Many of these foundational programs have received additional support, attention and funding—on an ongoing basis—as part of the five-year Strategic Plan for DEI. Link to the offices and programs below for updates on the activities, services and focus areas made possible by this reinvestment process.
Major Campuswide Programs
A number of centrally-located offices and units, lead and execute a range of programs designed to support and advance DEI campuswide. The continuing programs linked below represent only a small sample of the many DEI-related efforts underway across the university. In addition to these continuing initiatives, our shared vision is being advanced on a daily basis through hundreds of activities within U-M’s individual schools, colleges and campus units.
