Reminder: Final Opportunity to Submit Action Items by July 14 for Diversity Plan Progress

To the Rutgers University in Camden Campus Community:

In March 2022, when Rutgers released its first-ever diversity strategic plan, part of the institutional commitment was to foster transparency and accountability for progress toward the plan’s ambitious goals.

I am delighted to share the new Tracking Progress webpage, which features mechanisms for you to submit actions across both Chancellor-led and central administrative units that move Rutgers forward. With your input, we aim to capture both the breadth and depth of activity that is occurring across the university. Please submit your actions by July 14.

In October, University Equity and Inclusion will release the first progress report that aggregates action items by diversity priority to capture how the university has intentionally worked toward its diversity goals in the past year as well as celebrate the foundational work that has anchored Rutgers long before now. It is important that all of the good work we have engaged in at Rutgers University in Camden is included in the first progress report, so I thank you in advance for submitting your efforts.

Finally, save the date for Rutgers’ first Diversity Plan Progress Summit on November 15! Discover how Rutgers is pursuing its commitment to excellence and inclusion. Hear from university leaders about our institutional goals and how collaboration is driving progress. Learn how Rutgers is moving from words to action in implementing its University Diversity Strategic Plan, working in earnest to develop a university community where everyone can thrive.

Sincerely,
 
Antonio D. Tillis, Ph.D.
Chancellor, Rutgers University in Camden
