Subject: [inclusivex] Co-Sponsoring the 2018 Inclusive Excellence Symposium

Dear UA community,

The Office for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence and the Associated Students of the University of Arizona (ASUA) are pleased to present the 2nd annual UA Inclusive Excellence Symposium on Friday, March 30, 2018 from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm in the Student Union Memorial Center. The theme for this year is "Inviting Communities to Dance: Sustaining a Culture of Responsibility, Accountability and Collaboration."

A metaphor can be a powerful means to elucidate something as complex as diversity. For example, the metaphor of a dance can be invoked to describe the difference between diversity and inclusiveness. In other words, diversity is being invited to a dance, but inclusiveness is being asked to dance. Implementing diversity on campus is important, but it is equally as important to create a community that is driven by inclusivity and positively engages all members across campus, because of their valued differences.  For inclusiveness to take place, the ballroom must be renovated; the dance instructors must teach new dance moves and play different music; and innovative dance instructors who bring those new talents must be invited. Finally, it is critical that the ballroom managers (administration) commit to changing the ballroom. What this means is that the structure of the University will need to undergo changes in order to successfully recruit and sustain diverse faculty, staff, and students. A climate of inclusive excellence requires change at every level; the President and Provost, Deans and department heads, along with faculty, staff, students and administrators all playing a vital role in the institutional cultural transformation process.

This year’s theme speaks to the creation of a collaborative culture in which everyone is responsible and accountable for the project of changing the “ballroom.” The Symposium keynote speaker, workshops, and discussions are designed to convey this message.

We invite you to join us in supporting the symposium through a co-sponsorship opportunity. To be a co-sponsor costs nothing. We simply list your unit, organization, program, or school as a co-sponsor and all we ask in return is that 1) a representative or representatives from your area attend the conference and 2) you promote the symposium with your students, staff, and faculty. Below is a detailed breakdown of what you will receive as a co-sponsor:

·       Inclusion on symposium website

·       Inclusion on slide show during luncheon keynote speaker

·       Recognized during the welcome
Should your organization or department wish to be listed as co-sponsor, please send Charlinda Haudley, Symposium Chair, ( chaudley at email.arizona.edu<mailto:chaudley at email.arizona.edu> ) the following information by Monday, Feb 19, 2018:

·       Organization name

·       Organization logo
We thank you for all the work you do to implement and practice Inclusive Excellence and hope that you will join us on March 30th to learn, share, encourage, and promote a culture of Inclusive Excellence.
