The vision for Institute for Advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging in Business is to be the premier academic producer and source of research and teaching resources on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in business, and the intellectual leader in providing research-based approaches to best practices for DEIB in business.
Our mission is to create and disseminate knowledge related to the value of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging for businesses and stakeholders through impactful, multidisciplinary, practice-oriented research and educational outreach that advances meaningful organizational and societal change aimed at increasing inclusivity.
To achieve the institute’s mission, we host cross-disciplinary research workshops to enhance faculty collaboration and promote the identification of problems and solutions for DEIB issues. These research workshops lead to increased collaboration among faculty from various disciplines resulting in novel findings that are relevant to both researchers and practice.
