Academic Deans and Directors for Diversity and Inclusion
The Academic Deans and Directors for Diversity and Inclusion (ADDI) are a core anchor for the diversity and inclusion community of practice at the University of Virginia. This group includes representatives from almost every academic area of the University including the Library and the University's College at Wise.
ADDI represents a key partnership among each of the schools, the Provost's Office, and the Division for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. ADDI collaborates on:
- strategic inclusive excellence planning;
- key learning events and D&I programming for the University;
- policy equity reviews;
- building for a cultural climate of belonging;
- student, staff, and faculty recruitment, retention, and success; and
- institutional communications focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
