EXCELLENCE
for
2019-2022
We have a long and deliberate tradition of inclusion. It is not simply an ideal. It is a continuous call to actionand one of the pillars on which the institution rests. Each of us faces a choice: we can choose to be divided by difference, or we can be empowered by diversity. The University chooses to be a place where education inspires empathy, where meaningful multicultural exchanges occur, where everyone is welcome and where every voice is valued. This is who we are.

INTRODUCTION
In the 2018-2019 academic year, the Office forCampus Diversity led an effort to create theStrategic Plan for Inclusive Excellence. Based on anationally recognized model for equity andinclusion in higher education, the Strategic Plan forInclusive Excellence was created through theguidance of the Diversity Advisory Council (DAC),with broad stakeholder engagement includingstudents, faculty, staff and community members.
In 2018, the University of Louisiana at Lafayettereceived for the first time the Higher EducationExcellence in Diversity (HEED) Award, presented byINSIGHT Into Diversity. The HEED Award, open to allcolleges and universities across the U.S. andCanada, measures an institution’s level ofachievement and intensity of commitment inbroadening diversity and inclusion on campusthrough initiatives, programs, and outreach;student recruitment, retention and completion;and hiring practices for faculty and staff. The University’s recognition as a recipient of theHEED Award in 2018 and 2019 served as an impetusfor envisioning this next phase of institutionalprogress in diversity, equity and inclusion.
INSIGHT Into Diversity HEED Award
The Diversity Advisory Council (DAC) consists of adiverse group of community and campus leaderswho are committed to promoting the values ofdiversity, equity and inclusion on the campus ofthe University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Itsmembers serve as advocates and catalysts forinclusion on campus and in the community. The Diversity Advisory Council (DAC) is a UniversityCommittee reporting directly to the UniversityPresident. The DAC served as the InclusiveExcellence Strategic Planning Committee, guidingthe development of the objectives, strategies andkey performance indicators in this plan. SeeAppendix II for a listing of Diversity AdvisoryCouncil members for the 2018-2019 academic year.
Diversity Advisory Council

In each of the five strategic imperatives, DiversityAdvisory Council members focused on identifyingobjectives and strategies to advance diversity,equity and inclusion initiatives to achieve theeducational mission and align with theUniversity’s strategic plan.
