Diverse, by Design
Like many institutions, Rowan University struggled with how to effectively address issues of diversity, equity and inclusion.
Two years ago, we fully committed to it.
Rowan created an entire division whose goal is an inclusive, equitable university for everyone—a big lift considering our fast-growing university of three campuses, two medical schools and nearly 20,000 students.
Getting there started with listening to our community to determine its needs and concerns. We merged related offices under the umbrella of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, recruited faculty, students and staff to a University-wide DEI Council, formed committees, built a working collaborative with law enforcement, and, most importantly, committed to University-wide action!
I know this work is as important to you as it is to me and hope you'll take a few minutes to read our report, "Diverse, by Design," about what we did.
In service,
Monika Williams Shealey, Ph.D.
Senior Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
