Diversity Infusion Grants
Each year, the Rollins Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging leadership team invites proposals from faculty and/or staff in collaboration or with students to support projects in keeping with our guiding principles that will help to further our mission of increased diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging on campus. Successful applications will demonstrate the potential for enduring impact at Rollins.
Grants of $2,000 will be awarded for developing the project. Up to an additional $750 may be awarded for specified costs associated with the project.
Project Examples
Projects should focus on the enhancement of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging on campus. Suggestions include:
- Designing a workshop series on diversity and inclusion for students not previously offered on campus
- Designing a “train the trainer” program for course redesign, pedagogical practices, or co-curricular programming never previously offered through an existing office on campus
- Researching and drafting a proposed policy change that could positively impact the employee or student experience.
- Revising or designing a course on diversity, equity, inclusion and/or social justice that will be offered on a recurring basis
- Research of best practices leading to increased recruitment and retention of underrepresented faculty and students
- An assessment plan for current efforts in recruitment and retention of underrepresented faculty, staff, or students
- An assessment plan for diversity across the curriculum
