Diversity Strategic Planning Process
Georgia State University 2009 – 2010
On April 16, 2009 during President Becker’s “State Of The University Address”, he stated that…. “We (GSU) must become the national model for diversity in higher education, where all combinations of gender, race and ethnicity succeed at high rates.” As a follow up to this challenge, I would like to both share with you and enlist your support in achieving this important goal.
In an effort to promote this goal, the Office of Opportunity Development Diversity Education and Planning (ODDEP) engaged a strategic diversity consultant, Julius Pryor, III [pdf] to help us identify a unique model specific to Georgia State University and to articulate the process necessary to align the critical work around diversity already being done. At this point, we would like to share the model with you and receive your input and feedback. Already, the model has been presented to President Becker from whom we have received positive response.
The Diversity Strategic Planning Process is a university-wide initiative and will engage members of the university at various levels and different times. Please visit this website frequently for process updates.
