Faculty Diversity Fellowship 2008-2009 – Request for Applications
Plymouth State University has continued to expand its institutional focus on diversity
issues in a variety of ways that involve students, staff, and faculty. Progress has been
made in the areas of campus services and campus activities, and faculty members continue
to incorporate diversity topics throughout the curriculum. These goals are important because
Plymouth State, as a regional university, has a responsibility to provide diversity-related
leadership and is dedicated to providing learning experiences that promote understanding
and respect for all people and constructive discourse that includes a range of perspectives.
PSU strives to create an environment which supports diversity, equity and inclusiveness for
the entire community and strives to prepare students to participate respectfully and responsibly
in a pluralistic society. Nurturing the institutional value through recruitment, operations,
and the curriculum are critically important in efforts to attract and retain diverse individuals
as members of our learning community.
