Gannon University Opens Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Professional Development Grant Applications

All full-time employees are eligible to apply for this individual grant. Examples of appropriate activities include attending a conference and presenting work done at Gannon, attending a workshop to gain specialized training that can then be established at Gannon via a train-the-trainer model to other employees and/or student leaders, or professional development and scholarly conferences specific to academic disciplines.

To qualify for the DEI Professional Development Grant, a conference or workshop should have a specific focus on a domain of study associated with DEI work. Some examples include racial/ethnic diversity, social justice, representation and inclusion in STEM, implicit bias, inclusive classroom practices, LGBTQ+ populations and issues, disabilities, economic inequality, and cultural competency.
