Faculty & Staff Fellowship Cohort

About the Fellowship

The Office for Inclusive Excellence (OIE) proudly engages Inclusive Excellence Faculty and Staff fellows to lead education and service that contribute to the Pioneer pursuit for inclusive excellence.

Under the leadership of the chief diversity and inclusion officer (CDIO), the Inclusive Excellence Fellows program promotes faculty and staff engagement with the pending Pioneer Plan for Inclusive Excellence (PPIE), SHU’s diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging plan.

Each fellow is responsible for working with the OIE on research engagement and projects that are consistent with the OIE mission and the PPIE. Over the course of their two-year terms, the fellows will engage in inclusive leadership professional development, complete two cohort projects, complete individual projects, and more. The scope of all projects are institution-wide inclusive excellence initiatives.

The inaugural cohort of eight fellows was selected from a competitive list of faculty and staff applicants. The cohort’s term began in August, and they are already energized and on task engaging with this prestigious fellowship appointment. Congratulations to the 2023-2025 cohort of Inclusive Excellence Faculty & Staff Fellows.
