Dear UMKC students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends:
In 2014, UMKC launched an exemplary phase of its journey toward diversity and inclusion. Since then, diversity and inclusion strategies and programs for students, faculty and staff have blossomed. At a time when our country is facing a new crisis in race relations and civility, UMKC has an important charge: to prepare our students for a global and multicultural environment. Thus, it is with enthusiasm that we publish the second edition of the Division of Diversity and Inclusion’s 2016-2018 Annual Report.
The Division of Diversity and Inclusion has promoted two important ideas. “Diversity includes me” means that everyone is considered when we think about diversity. The second idea is that it is everyone’s job to consider how diversity and inclusion applies to the work they do and their interactions with others.
There are numerous examples of how UMKC has embraced these key ideas wholeheartedly. UMKC has a comprehensive Inclusive Excellence Plan that we use as a blueprint for our diversity efforts. Climate surveys and other data are used to assess progress and identify gaps. Deans and administrative leaders have developed and implemented action plans that have moved forward our progress in diversity and inclusion.
Through the Diversity Dialogue series, faculty have been engaged in efforts to promote an understanding of how diversity and multiculturalism apply to teaching and learning. In addition, Student Diversity Ambassadors have been engaged passionately in helping fellow students from many backgrounds learn diversity and inclusion skills. Because of these and many other efforts, UMKC has made continuous progress.
Some might ask, “Are we there yet?” The answer to that is even with progress, there is still work to be done. We hope you continue to be involved in the next chapter of our efforts to be the best urban-serving university we can be.
Sincerely,
Susan B. Wilson, Ph.D., MBAVice Chancellor, Division of Diversity and InclusionAssociate Adjunct Professor, Counseling Psychology

Women of Color Leadership ConferenceThe mission of the Women of Color Leadership Conference (WOCLC) is to provide professional development in leadership, financial literacy, career development, personal goal-setting and branding, health and wellness and stress management/coping skills for women of color. We host two events each year for the conference: High School/Collegiate Connection Day and Women’s Day.
High School/Collegiate Connection is a high school leadership development institute that is an outgrowth of the annual Women of Color Leadership Conference. The program served 395 high school students from 35 schools in 2017 and 313 students from 24 schools in 2018.
Women’s DayMore than 350 women of color attended the WOCLC for Women’s Day in 2017 and 2018. The past two years featured opening speakers Pakou Her, principal of Tseng Development Group, and Tyjuan Lee, president of Penn Valley Community College, and keynote speakers Angela Rye, NPR political strategist, and Ana Navarro, CNN political commentator and CNN and Telemundo political strategist.
Educate-Organize-AdvocateIn 2017, UMKC held the inaugural Educate-Organize-Advocate Conference (EOA) on civic and community engagement, chaired by Rhiannon Dickerson for UMKC students, faculty and staff. Panels and workshops helped attendees raise awareness, develop skills and plan for action around social justice issues and civic engagement. In 2017, more than 250 UMKC faculty, staff and students attended the conference. EOA has expanded for 2018 and will include collaboration and attendees with Metropolitan Community College.

UMKC Campus Climate Survey Results: 2017The Division of Diversity and Inclusion retained nationally known Rankin & Associates Consulting to conduct a campus-wide climate survey with all UMKC students, faculty and staff. They reported their results in Fall 2017 and conducted follow-up focus groups in Spring 2018. Action steps will be developed based upon the climate survey analysis and focus group report.
Climate Highlights4,650 UMKC faculty, students and staff completed the survey for a response rate of 25 percent.
Diversity and Inclusion, the Chancellor’s Diversity Council, the Provost and Chancellor will develop action steps in response to the climate survey and focus group results.
Inclusive Excellence PlanIn October 2017, the University of Missouri System requested that all four campuses report on the diversity-related inventory and action plans for all academic and non-academic units. The Inclusive Excellence Model served as the framework, which supports the infusion of diversity into an institution's recruiting, admissions and hiring processes; curricula, and its administrative structures and practices. All academic and non-academic units across the university provided reports on their diversity work according to the framework.
The Chancellor’s Diversity Council, co-chaired by Chancellor Mauli Agrawal and Vice Chancellor Susan B. Wilson, continues to work with UMKC faculty and staff and community representatives to monitor the university’s diversity and inclusion progress. Academic units presented their diversity inventory and action plans to the council in 2017 and non-academic units will begin their reports to the council in Fall 2018.
The Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Diversity recognizes select employees or student organizations for their sustained contributions and active commitment to promoting and enhancing diversity at UMKC.
The 2017 recipients were Uzziel Pecina, Assistant Teaching Professor of Educational Leadership Policy and Foundations at the School of Education, and Scott Curtis, Research and Liaison Librarian III at University Libraries.
79% of respondents were comfortable with the climate and 84% of faculty and students were comfortable with the climate in their classes
