Provost Grants to Promote Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice

Congratulations to the following faculty who have been awarded a grant to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within the classroom.  Projects were awarded up to $2,000 each to full or part-time faculty to support innovation in one or more of the following three areas:

1. Creating a welcoming classroom community that cultivates belonging.  These projects focus on developing, documenting, and transparently sharing routines, community building activities, norms, etc. as related to student identities, student needs, respect, compassion, and empathy.
2. Critically analyzing the content and practices of a course through an antibias, antiracist lens.  These projects lead to the implementation of culturally sustaining practices in the classroom, including strategies for identifying and countering implicit bias, microaggressions, and stereotype threats.
3. Supporting improved collaborative projects in classes (particularly those with the HIP designation).  These projects focus on transparent expectations, instruction, assessments, routines, and materials.   These proposals also address the design of inclusive learning environments and equitable instruction that supports all students in collaborative projects.
