"Thiel College is eager to engage with a network of colleges and universities committed to strengthening diversity and civility on their campuses. It is our responsibility to prepare our students to lead in their communities. Our involvement in this program will better enable our faculty and professional staff to engage effectively with students on matters related to diversity, inclusion, civility, and social justice," Thiel College President Susan Traverso, Ph.D., said. "One of the College's strategic plan goals is to create a more 'diverse and inclusive learning environment.' Thiel College's selection for this prestigious and important initiative is a significant accomplishment and is a symbol of how our campus community is connected and committed to a common goal of acceptance, tolerance and civility."
The Institute is directed by Beverly Daniel Tatum, Ph.D., president emerita of Spelman College and a leading scholar of race and higher education. During the Institute, leading humanities and social sciences scholars will present key concepts and recent developments in their fields and apply these concepts to understand student concerns and deepen the educational experience.
