Prioritizing and Institutionalizing DEI on Campus Part 2

Episode 6

This week on the APL nextED Mini-Pod, we are joined by Dr. Mangala Subramaniam for part 2 of her special two-part episode as she continues to speak about her experiences creating support for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Committee work provides institutions with a way to bring fresh perspectives into ongoing conversations, but what happens when the same faculty are volunteering for every committee? Dr. Mangala Subramaniam and her staff have strived to create diverse and highly motivated committees at Purdue University to allow their DEI work to flourish.

This week, Dr. Subramaniam joins host Kathleen Gibson to discuss the ways that she recruits and motivates faculty and staff to embrace diversity, equity and inclusion at Purdue University.
