UIC Diversity Strategic Thinking and Planning (DSTP)
Dear Students, Faculty and Staff:
We are pleased to announce on behalf of the Diversity Strategic Thinking and Planning (DSTP) Committee that the draft Diversity Strategic Plan: A Mosaic for UIC Transformation is available for campus review.
A Mosaic for UIC Transformation is a working draft, campus-wide, collaborative product that is the culmination of over three years of work. The plan represents the final phase of the DSTP process and is a mosaic of interconnected goals and actions with the overall purpose of integrating diversity throughout all levels and activities of the campus.
We welcome your comments on the working draft. A response form and an e-mail address are located below for your comments and feedback.
We also encourage you to attend one of the forums listed below to discuss the working draft and diversity issues on campus. The forums will be open to all UIC students, faculty, staff and alumni. Your participation in these discussions will play a critical role in finalizing a Diversity Strategic Plan for UIC.
