Inclusive meetings

One concrete way you can begin to implement U-M’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) is by helping ensure that everyone feels comfortable at meetings. Often, this is as straightforward as making sure a range of options are provided when food is served, clearly identifying single-stall bathrooms and lactation rooms, and identifying people who can provide help to attendees when needed. Staff from ITS and elsewhere on campus have created “Ten Tips for Inclusive Meetings” as a first step to help meeting planners start meeting their DE&I goals. We welcome your questions and feedback at institutional.equity@umich.edu.
