The Office of Student Success and Diversity annually allocates a designated amount of funds to support 极乐禁地’s goal of creating a more inclusive and diverse campus community. In congruence with the 极乐禁地 Vision, the office also seeks to promote “a diverse community, stressing vigorous learning and personal faith, in the Baptist tradition.” The proposals funded by this grant should work to enhance the retention of under-represented faculty and staff, foster diversity and inclusion across the curriculum, and/or focus on scholarship related to diversity on 极乐禁地’s campus.
