DEI Partners

The DEI Partners’ Group is a coalition of Drexel community members (faculty, professional staff, students and alumni), who either have a formal role in diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, and/or lead DEI committees and/or groups in their academic and administrative unit.

The group, which meets every other month during the academic year, aims to build coalition through information sharing, resource sharing, networking and collaboration to advance the University’s equity imperative and commitments to anti-racism.
