OIED instituted the annual Young Scholars Conference in support of graduate student women in STEM. In fall 2018, the program
was reviewed and revised to be more inclusive of historically underrepresented womxn of color and rebranded as the WiSTEM
(Womxn in STEM) Symposium. WiSTEM 2019 took place in November 2019 and convened 60 graduate students, postdocs and
career mentors from across the country.

Brown’s Office of Government and Community Relations chaired the Community Engagement Working Group, composed of
key staff members from community-facing departments and centers on campus, as well as senior administrators. The group
created a survey to inventory, strengthen and coordinate community-facing programs that currently existed, identified gaps
in services and provided information that led toward promoting the University’s positive impact on Providence and Rhode
Island. The Community Engagement Working Group Report is available online (brown.edu/gcr/resources/report). The report
recommendations led to the creation of the Education Working Group in the 2018-19 academic year and the Education Task
Force in the 2019-20 academic year. Chief among these outcomes was the creation of the education coordinator position,
based at the Annenberg Institute.

Since 2016, the Graduate School has awarded 64 supplemental fellowships to incoming and returning graduate students from
HUGs. These fellowships were instrumental in increasing the number of HUG graduate students.

availability data to inform their searches.

The Office of Institutional Research created a diversity dashboard to disaggregate data by race/ethnicity and academic fields.

Leaders of integrative themes have incorporated academic initiatives that center on diversity and inclusion scholarship in their
DDIAPs. For example, one of the integrative themes in the Building on Distinction strategic plan is “sustaining life on earth.” The
Institute at Brown for Environment and Society developed an environment and inequality track that brings a social equity focus
to these concentrations. The track encourages students to pursue the study of environmental justice by exploring intersections
of race, class, gender and systems of oppression with regard to environmentalism.

External review committees are asked to address specific prompts about the DIAP, and committees receive DDIAPs to consider
as a part of the review.
