Inclusive Excellence Scholar Residency
Inclusive Excellence Scholar Residency
Each academic year, The Office of Diversity and Inclusion welcomes a distinguished guest to campus for a multi-day series of events. The Inclusive Excellence Scholar Residency (IESR) assists the University of Dayton community to achieve a more robust integrated approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion that
- builds on existing efforts across campus
- operates in a strategic, evidenced-based and data-driven manner
- underscores the importance of comprehensive outcomes assessments and strong accountability measures.
The overarching topic of each IESR lays a thematic foundation that shapes and informs diversity, equity and inclusion professional development and education opportunities for faculty, staff, and administrators for the academic year.
