Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Efforts to diversify faculty often focus on opportunities for hiring while overlooking the creation of environments that engender opportunities for faculty development in the long-term. These missed opportunities hamper scholarly productivity and erode the job satisfaction necessary to retain new hires through tenure and into the full professor ranks. P.L.A.C.E. with CAMPSSAH positions the center as an interdisciplinary hub for research and service activities for faculty of color, under represented minorities (URM), and faculty whose work forms the foundation of inclusive excellence at UC Davis. To foster holistic development, sustained growth, and retention of these faculty, this endeavor invests resources in three areas: community, leadership, and recognition.
