OIED 101
The Office of Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity offers multiple avenues for learning, training, thinking, reporting, advancing, and reflecting in support of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) efforts.
This initiative is an educational opportunity for faculty and staff and in alignment with the Chancellor’s priority in the strategic map. A semester-long cohort is accepted each Fall, while a 2-day conference is offered in the Spring.
This year-long experiential program was made to be flexible and help UTHSC students and employees explore Memphis.
