The Haslam College of Business seeks to challenge the status quo, enhance knowledge, drive change and transform the world. We do so by inspiring our students, colleagues, business and society. We support our students, faculty and staff through several core initiatives including academic support, recruitment and retention programming, educational opportunities, and professional development. The Haslam College of Business recognize that achieving its mission and vision is a collaborative effort that requires additional engagement from our college citizens.

Through the Haslam College of Business Diversity Council, we remain intentional about diversity and inclusion (D&I) in the college. The council serves as a resource, advisor and advocate for D&I initiatives and works to foster meaningful opportunities that encourage and enhance understanding of D&I as critical to business and community success. Council success is measured based on the following goals and objectives:

• Drive and advance education/awareness of diversity and inclusive practices at all levels of the college
• Support efforts that attract and retain diverse faculty, staff and students
• Advise the dean and senior leadership of opportunities and challenges related to D&I
• Provide internal support for cultivating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive academic and workplace culture
