ODI Annual Report (2023-2024)

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES LAUNCHED IN AY 23-24 Diversity Status Reports | DSRs These annual reports provide an overview of student and employee demographics and a cursory view of key year-to-year trends over the last five years. All of this information is derived from the Wake Forest Fact Book. The purpose of these reports, however, is to provide individuals with easy access to this particular information. Inclusive Leadership Development Program | ILDP The Inclusive Leadership Development Program (ILDP), a collaborative initiative between the Professional Development Center (PDC) and ODI, will commence in August 2024. Out of 27 applicants, 20 individuals have been selected to participate in this nine-month program. Designed for university leaders, including senior staff and tenured faculty, the program aims to foster personal awareness and inclusive leadership skills essential for navigating the complexities of a university environment.

Women and Minority Owned Business Spend | WMOB The Office of Diversity and Inclusion has diligently tracked the allocation of our operating budgets to support women and minority-owned businesses. Together, ODI and our centers have collectively allocated approximately 9.5% of our combined operating budgets to this endeavor. We are steadfast in our commitment to enhancing this allocation in the forthcoming academic year. This linked resource draws direct connections between ODI’s programming and practice efforts, to our Institution’s commitment to learning, inquiry, and partnerships. Though the identified efforts are not exhaustive of ODI’s fulsome commitment to Wake Forest and its stakeholders, they serve as reminders to our Office – and a model to our community – of how to work towards the collective impact of ensuring that all Wake Foresters have full access to all that Wake Forest has to offer. Strategic Framework: Goals and Progress The Office of Diversity and Inclusion has worked with the Office of the President to align our work to the Strategic Framework adopted in Academic Year 23-24.
