Global Inclusion Council

Supporting Fielding’s commitment to a diverse and inclusive culture


For many decades, Fielding community members have been engaged in scholarship and practice that leads to positive social change. This work includes advancing our commitment towards a more just, humane, and inclusive society.

As a collaborative body, the Inclusion Council both represents and serves in an advisory and consultative capacity to the President in actualizing institutional diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. The role of the Council is to ensure the integrity of the DEI strategic plan by monitoring forward action on priority areas of the plan. These efforts are accomplished by creating space for shared learning and communication regarding cross-institutional efforts; identifying opportunities for collaboration and leveraging resources and expertise; serving as an innovation and learning hub regarding DEI to enhance institutional capacity.
