Welcome to the Growing Departmental Inclusiveness Toolkit, designed to help university departments improve their inclusivity based on the results of the Growing Departmental Inclusiveness Survey (GDIS). The GDIS measures five key components of inclusivity. You can click here (HYPERLINK to research page) to learn how the components were developed from a consortium-wide survey of ACS faculty.
Begin your departmental growth process below with whichever component is a priority for your group and/or whichever needs the most improvement in your department. If your department members have yet to complete the GDIS or that is not feasible currently, it is still worthwhile using the toolkit to learn more about the components and implement improvement. No department is ideally inclusive, improvement is always possible.
- Interpersonal Environment (Hyperlink to page)
- The Interpersonal Environment area of focus measures the degree to which department members feel respected, valued, and included. Our toolkit provides guidance and web resources to help departments create a welcoming and inclusive environment that encourages communication, collaboration, and the expression of diverse perspectives.
