“The purpose of the CANR DEI Digital Badge Project was to highlight the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts of each CANR department and unit in the college. In collecting this information and highlighting these efforts, our hope is that the other departments will feel inspired by the work that each of us contributes to building a more inclusive College of Agriculture and Natural Resources,” said Ayodele Daré, educational program coordinator for the CANR Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. “I would like to thank the CANR Community for continuing to support this endeavor.”
Annually diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts in the college and MSU Extension are gathered, scored based on criteria developed by members of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and College Advisory Committee and then are grouped into three categories: Platinum, Gold and Green, with Platinum being the highest level of achievement.
