Managing to Achieve Diversity & Inclusion A challenge that is commonly faced is a gap in how we prepare

managers to lead with a focus on achieving diversity and inclusion and

this included UC’s 18 academic advising programs. Assistant deans

and directors of advising influence the educational experience of every

undergraduate across the university and well over 100 professional

staff. While this leadership development will initially be for the

advising community, this workshop-style course would be generalized

and available to all UC managers and leaders.

Study Abroad Proposal The huge lack of diversity in study abroad numbers has gained some national attention. Financial incentive designed to help defray the cost of studying abroad for certain demographics is one of the best ways to help those individuals realize their goals and to build momentum for study abroad within that demographic. The goal of this scholarship is to promote diversity participation in study abroad.

Women and Underrepresented Minorities in UC Technology Commercialization UCTAC and UCLEAF are highly interested in generating and implementing programs to increase participation of women and minority faculty participation in innovation at UC. We aim to identify meaningful metrics to measure women and minority participation in innovation in order to determine how we can more effectively engage and support these participants in the innovation ecosystem. The outcome will, hopefully, inform the recruitment and retention of women and minority faculty. We also aim to empower more women and minorities at UC to participate and take leadership roles in all stages of transforming new discoveries to the market – without leaving UC. UCTAC and UCLEAF are uniquely suited to impact this issue at UC, and with this project they will start by identifying meaningful metrics to begin to shape the opportunities, pilot a commercialization fellowship program, and fund a specific female/minority faculty-led commercialization project at UC.
