DEI Summit | University of Michigan

Since the 2016 launch of U-M’s first 5-year DEI Strategic Plan – DEI 1.0, the university has hosted an annual DEI Summit as an opportunity to celebrate progress and launch the next year of plan implementation. This signature event brings the campus community together to discuss DEI-related issues and spark engagement. In addition, other centrally sponsored and unit-level events provide opportunities for students, faculty and staff to connect to the DEI work happening within their unit. These events also encourage critical thinking about ways to address structural inequities across our campus and the broader society.

The 2022 Community Assembly and Discussion will mark the end of our DEI 1.0 evaluation process, which was the first year in our 2-year transition to DEI 2.0. It also begins the second year of transition, which will be a year of planning for DEI 2.0.
