Brown University released the Pathways to Diversity and Inclusion action plan in February 2016. The purpose of the plan is to “outline a set of concrete, achievable actions, many of them already underway, that will make Brown more fully diverse and inclusive.”
Under the Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP), Brown’s Office of Government and Community Relations (GCR) is charged with two tasks: 1) "Convene a working group to evaluate and report on Brown’s contributions to Providence and Rhode Island," and 2) “Promote the University’s positive impact on Providence and the surrounding region.”
This Report on Activities updates the University on GCR’s progress toward these goals; presents an assessment and findings from a recent survey of Brown’s community engagement activities; and makes initial recommendations on creating a more strategic vision of community engagement for the University.
