A brief description of the institution’s programs that help increase the diversity of higher education faculty :
The Wake~UP~Winston Networking Association collaborates with Deans and Department Chairs to coordinate the Campus Visit experience for prospective diverse faculty by arranging breakfast, lunch, dinner, receptions, etc. with underrepresented members of both the campus community and the local community.
A Target of Opportunity (TOP) Hires Program provides opportunities for academic leaders to increase faculty diversity.
An Assistant Director of Diversity and Inclusion will be hired during the summer of 2011 to collaborate with Deans and Department Chairs to establish a series of year-round recruitment initiatives that will increase interaction with prospective diverse faculty in order to increase the diversity of our faculty.
In January 2011 the Schools of Business appointed a Senior Associate Dean of Diversity to steer all diversity initiatives in the school. The Dean of Law appointed a Director of Community Engagement who aids the admissions team in recruitment of diverse faculty. The Dean of Divinity established the Luce Foundation Diversity Fellows Program, a two-year post-doctoral fellowship who will teach classes and also partner with the Office of Diversity and Inclusion in a variety of programmatic initiatives.
Additional programs will be launched with implementation of the Strategic Plan for Diversity and Inclusion.
