Diversity, equity, and inclusion at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy

In Spring 2022, the Lilly Family School of philanthropy disseminated its DEI Strategic Plan for 2022-2024. Drafting of the strategic plan was guided by the DEI Committee based on stakeholder feedback, including:

(1) seven focus group discussions conducted by an external consultant from September to October 2021;

(2) responses to an anonymous, online feedback form in Fall 2021; and

(3) feedback provided in response to sharing an early draft of the strategic plan with faculty, staff, and students.
