The impact of your gift

• Diversity and Inclusion Programming - The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI), guided by Emory's Vice Provost for Diversity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer, Dr. Carol E. Henderson, creates spaces for faculty, staff, and students to work and learn in inclusive, equitable, and diverse environments where they thrive and bring their whole selves to our campus community. ODEI ensures Emory University's compliance with Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action, Title IX, the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act federal regulations. ODEI also monitors and executes the university's Equal Opportunity Policy. This fund supports additional diversity and inclusion programming sponsored by ODEI in collaboration with other campus partners.
