EmailThe College of Agriculture and Natural Resources recognizes diversity, equity and inclusion efforts by departments and units during the 2019-2020 academic year through a new badge ranking.
The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are pleased to announce the first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Badge Awards recipients. Units and departments within CANR were encouraged to submit their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives from the 2019-2020 year for this distinct honor.
“This is a unique way to highlight and show appreciation to the amazing efforts of our respective units, departments and schools in CANR,” said Quentin Tyler, associate dean and director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the CANR. “We look forward to continued recognition, learning from each other’s efforts, and building toward inclusive excellence. Thank you to all that submitted efforts and congratulations on receipt of your badges.”
Annually diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and MSU Extension are gathered, scored based on criteria developed by members of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and College Advisory Committee and then are grouped into three categories: Platinum, Gold and Green, with Platinum being the highest level of achievement.
