    <span>As undergraduate and graduate student populations have become more and more diverse, institutions of higher education are getting much more proactive in their goals to hire faculty that are prepared to be mentors, researchers, and teachers who are inclusive and culturally competent (about time, right?). As such, many academic jobs require a Diversity Statement or a Commitment to Diversity Statement. </span><span>This is a way for applicants to demonstrate they have the commitments and capacities to contribute to the institution’s goals of diversity, inclusion, and equity via their work (personally and professionally) and their lived experiences. </span><div><br></div>
    <div>Come learn more about how to craft these statements, how they are often scored, and <span>ways you can do additional work NOW before the job market to demonstrate the values you have. </span><div><span><br></span></div>
