USF Diversity Summit
The USF Diversity Summit was initiated by the USF Diversity Network and supported by the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity and the Office of the President. The program has evolved in three years and will continue to evolve as the best practices in Diversity and Inclusion expand and are integrated into the mission, vision, goals and values of the university.
Initially, the Diversity Summit provided an opportunity for the Presidential Advisory Committees and the diverse communities on campus to share their perspective with the executive leadership of the university around three themes: accomplishments, continuing concerns and recommendations. Since that initial program the Summit has expanded to include a wider audience and wider discussions about diversity. The Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity and USF’s Diversity Network organize the event each year.
On February 5th, 2009, USF and the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity hosted the 6th Annual Diversity Summit which was attended by approximately 160 guests including faculty, staff and students. These are record numbers! The topics of Diversity and Mentoring, together, generated much interest among all.
The Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity and Diversity Network focused on mentoring and diversity to create opportunities for our panelists, presenters and guests to discuss and learn about how we are linking mentoring and diversity into all we do at USF; to learn about mentoring programs that are already making a difference in the lives of many in our community; and to explore and engage in conversations about where we go from here. Our key-note speaker, Dr. Stacy Blake-Beard, engaged our participants by seeking their input and soliciting their feedback through a faculty mentoring case scenario. Directors and administrators of various mentoring programs passionately described their programs and accomplishments. Several current students, USF Graduates, and members took this opportunity to share ‘testimonials’ about how various mentoring experiences here at USF helped them achieve their goals and dreams.
