CTLT's Diversity Action Plan

Spring 2023

Sample image floated rightThis plan articulates the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology’s (CTLT) goals in support of diversity, equity, and inclusion and the intended actions designed to achieve them. The CTLT’s role as a unit dedicated to supporting campus educators means that our DAP goals encompass two areas: (1) Programming and services goals that will support campus educators to become more equity-minded and inclusive in their teaching, and (2) Staff development goals intended to contribute to continuing education for all CTLT staff on issues related to DEI in higher education and operational goals that are designed to infuse equity and inclusion into the CTLT's internal policies and practices.
