The Inclusive Excellence Initiative at DePauw University MESSAGE FROM JUSTIN AND DARRIANNE CHRISTIAN, CLASS OF 1995 We trust this message finds you well. Today many of you are feeling quite settled into life, children grown or nearly there and careers firmly in place. Perhaps you’ve begun to contemplate the same middle-aged questions we have: What now? What’s next? When I’m gone, what will people remember about how I helped make the world a better place? By this point, you may have checked off the better part of your life goals “to-do list” – education, significant other, children, career, etc. With your checklist primarily complete, we are optimistic you might have additional time or other resources to share and that you’d love the opportunity not only to reconnect with your DePauw friends, but also to be active in creating a new legacy at DePauw. As people of color in America today, we feel the need now more than ever to do something positive for our broader community. And DePauw – more specifically, DePauw’s current and future student population – needs us and you. Think about your own college years. How much more fulfilling would your experience have been if the University’s diverse alumni and friends were guiding lights as you navigated through your college journey? What if you had met some alumni in your first year, people with whom you felt an immediate kinship? What if, during orientation week, a friendly and supportive group of alumni had hosted a gathering to welcome you? What if, throughout the school year, alumni had organized programming beneficial to the University’s diverse student populations? We remember when artist and educator Bing Davis ’59 visited campus during our DePauw years. Not only was his presentation influential, but even more meaningful was the time he spent with us students afterwards at the Association of African American Students (AAAS) House. We’ve enjoyed staying connected to DePauw since our graduation. Some of our closest relationships today are with our DePauw classmates. Therefore, it is only natural that we feel an affinity for DePauw and have a desire to support DePauw’s mission. We were both blessed to receive scholarships as Black Student Leadership Award winners and feel a responsibility to pay forward that which was so generously given to us. We 2
began with very modest contributions to the Annual Fund (now The Fund for DePauw). As newlyweds with a mortgage and a business, even that was a stretch. However, we felt then – and feel more deeply today – a moral responsibility as persons of color to provide a foundation for the success of future generations. Recently, our family made a contribution to build the Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) at DePauw, which will include a world-class AAAS House and Cultural Resource Center. We believe the CDI, and the programming it will stimulate, is a valuable project that can be a bridge connecting DePauw alumni of color and other diverse alumni and friends of the University with current and future students. This project will only be as successful as the sacrifices we are willing to make and the resources we are willing to commit toward a better DePauw experience for current and future students. We have an amazing opportunity before us, and we need your support – financial support, time and talent – to further both the building project and the associated programming. We hope you will dream along with us and look forward to meeting you in the Center when it is complete. Thank you for your consideration.
The Inclusive Excellence Initiative at DePauw University
Diversity and Inclusion at DePauw – A History and Our Current Perspective The ideals of diversity and equity have guided DePauw’s mission since 1837 when its founding charter established it as an institution “for the benefit of the youth of every class of citizens, and of every denomination, who shall be freely admitted to equal advantages and privileges of education.” These ideals compelled the University to admit its first group of women students in 1867 and four Japanese students in 1877. They led to DePauw’s first black graduate, Tucker E. Wilson, in 1888. These important milestones occurred during a historical period that feared and suppressed racial, ethnic, religious and gender equity. While its charter had pledged DePauw to equality in education for all citizens and it made some early progress toward this vision, the University also struggled with the prevailing prejudices of the times and did not adequately value the inclusion of underrepresented students.
CULTURE AND PREJUDICE – VALUES AND CONFLICT – LEARNING AND GROWTH The turbulent 1960s found the DePauw community engaging more deeply with the ideas of civil rights and social justice. In 1968, students established the Association of Afro-American Students (AAAS) and declared it open to all students. In 1969 at a meeting of the Committee on the Disadvantaged Student, members discussed a manifesto presented by black students. Among items deemed “absolutely necessary” were a Black Student Union House, a black admissions officer and black convocation speakers. The dialogue of the 1960s was a catalyst for discussion, change and progress that continue today in the realm of diversity and inclusion at DePauw. Over the next few decades, the University began to rely on its founding values of diversity and equity to shape its growth and evolution. Gay and lesbian student and alumni organizations were created. The Jewish Student Association and Muslim Student Association were founded. Black and Latino-focused Greek organizations opened chapters on campus. New leadership, scholarship programs and intensive recruitment efforts increased the number of domestic students of color from 29 in 1986 to more than 400 in 2016. The Women’s Center was created in 2004, based on the 2002 Task Force on the Status of Women recommendation, to serve
as a resource center for students, faculty, staff and the Greencastle community interested in and acting on behalf of women’s issues at DePauw. The Cultural Resource Center was established in 2008. In 2010, DePauw Interfaith Internship program was founded. Interfaith Interns work to promote interfaith interaction and increase the religious literacy of their peers.
“I am grateful to be an alumna of DePauw during a time of the University’s intentional efforts to enroll a diverse student body. Today, we are intensifying our efforts not only to include diverse representation of people, but also to increase our inclusion efforts in our culture, curricular and co-curricular opportunities. It is my honor to collaborate with alumni and colleagues in our commitment to ensure every student experiences the full advantage of a DePauw education that leads them to their personal and professional success.” – RENEE MADISON ’95, senior advisor to the president for diversity and compliance and Title IX coordinator
EDUCATING GLOBAL CITIZENS – CELEBRATING AND VALUING DIFFERENCES IN COMMUNITY Valuing, respecting and engaging in difference prepares DePauw and its students to be better citizens of the world. As DePauw looks toward the beginning of its third century and reflects upon its campus culture and values by considering who we are and who we want to be, this ambitious engagement must extend beyond the demographic makeup of the campus population. Successful leaders understand the value and contributions of diverse perspectives and practice inclusive excellence. 3
The Inclusive Excellence Initiative at DePauw University In 2016, DePauw committed to the following Vision for Diversity and Inclusion on campus: We aim to create a campus that encourages examination and dismantling of the historical, systemic and social barriers that inhibit inclusion and to respect and value the contribution of each person’s unique and multifaceted identity to the DePauw community. To reach these goals, DePauw aspires to provide a diverse and inclusive learning and living community that supports critical thinking and encourages all of its members to bring their own identities and life experiences to campus to engage actively, intentionally and respectfully with one another. How exactly does the University define diversity? Diversity is the accumulation of individual and social experiences, as well as fixed and fluid self-identifications, that influence the ways in which we encounter and experience the world. Diversity is therefore far more than a demographic goal or a focus on proportionate representation. DePauw recognizes a broad range of attributes that can be considered in defining the unique self-identifications of an individual including, but not limited to: race, color,
4
ethnicity, religious beliefs, national origin, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, gender identity, gender expression, age, immigrant status, physical, social, and intellectual attributes and abilities, mental health, physical appearance, military experience, geographic roots, marital status, parental status, education, native language and political affiliation/beliefs. What does DePauw mean when it uses the term inclusion? Inclusion describes the active, intentional and ongoing engagement with difference. On a truly diverse and inclusive campus, individuals are welcomed, valued and respected for their distinctive skills, experiences and perspectives in order to create a working, living and learning environment where everyone has an opportunity to thrive and contribute fully to the community. Fostering an inclusive campus requires that all individuals, as well as the institution, engage with diversity and difference over a sustained period to address any structural or procedural barriers to full inclusion.
BUILDING AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY In the 21st century, these values of diversity, equity and inclusion require ongoing, committed and disciplined effort.
The Inclusive Excellence Initiative at DePauw University DePauw approaches this endeavor with a growth mindset, acknowledging that welcoming and appreciating diversity is a continual learning process. The University has outlined deliberate steps through which the community will work to achieve its vision of diversity and inclusive excellence. A five-year Campus Plan for Diversity and Inclusion (2016-2021) provides guidelines regarding the student experience, along with faculty-, staff- and community-wide strategies. The central goal regarding students is to create an inclusive and welcoming experience for all members of a diverse student body from the time they are prospective students through their lives as engaged alumni. This includes elements such as refining recruitment practices, working to build The DePauw Trust to meet the full demonstrated financial need of each admitted student, improving retention by strengthening the First-Year Seminar and Sophomore Institute, encouraging student community engagement and cross-organizational programming and developing a more engaged and diverse alumni base that is active in campus programming and giving. Student Academic Life and Academic Affairs will support faculty members in developing a robust array of courses across the curriculum and strong enrollments in these courses to satisfy the new Power, Privilege and Diversity requirement and International Experience requirement. Honors and Fellows Programs over the next five years will enroll a wider audience of students with varied backgrounds and perspectives and provide teaching opportunities for diverse faculty members. These programs will hold a diversity of perspectives as a mark of excellence. Faculty efforts span every department and program from developing a more diverse faculty to supporting professional development related to interpersonal relationships and improving diversity and inclusion in curriculum and teaching practices. Multicultural individuals make up approximately 19 percent of DePauw’s faculty. DePauw’s participation in the Consortium for Faculty Diversity will now be supported by the Robert G. Bottoms Fund for Faculty Diversity, named in honor of President Emeritus Bob Bottoms, who served the University for more than 31 years. Dr. Bottoms was the leader who was committed to providing
underrepresented populations with the opportunity to attend and work at DePauw. Similarly, efforts regarding staff will involve recruitment, retention and professional development. Campus-wide elements that involve faculty, staff, students and administration together include an ongoing commitment to the DePauw Day of Dialogue, campus climate surveys, implementation of survey recommendations and collaboration on initiatives with the City of Greencastle. The University will develop physical spaces to make campus more welcoming and engaging for Greencastle residents, alumni and friends to interact on campus, as well as a neutral, social space available for all students and especially for affinity groups lacking a physical space to host events and programming.

The Inclusive Excellence Initiative at DePauw University
Opportunities for Support The inclusive excellence program focuses on retention of students, faculty and staff; improving the student experience through physical spaces, social opportunities and more inclusive programming; increasing alumni engagement; hiring of diverse faculty and professional development for faculty and staff regarding diversity and inclusion. Additional opportunities for philanthropic investments remain in regards to enhancing and creating spaces on campus for diverse communities; creating more flexible space for all DePauw students to gather; providing endowed funds to support campus programming, experiential learning and opportunity grants, curricular offerings, student-faculty engagement and scholarships. Following are minimum funding levels desired for this initiative. Endowed funds have capacity for unlimited support.
CAPITAL ENHANCEMENTS The Justin and Darrianne Christian Center for Diversity and Inclusion $2,000,000 The new home for AAAS and the Dorothy Brown Cultural Resource Center, the Center for Diversity and Inclusion will also provide common space for programming and events. A variety of naming opportunities exist. Completion is scheduled for fall 2017.
ENDOWMENTS AND PROGRAMMING Gifts of any size make a difference for this initiative and all endowments at DePauw. For those who wish to establish a permanently named, individually managed endowment, the University’s current minimum funding level is $100,000.
Endowed Scholarships – The DePauw Trust $2,000,000 DePauw’s commitment to need-based support and student access, endowed scholarship support is a most important and enduring need at DePauw. The Robert G. Bottoms Fund for Faculty Diversity $1,000,000 Our ability to attract and retain a diverse faculty is key to DePauw’s diversity and inclusion efforts. This fund honors Dr. Bottoms’ leadership and our commitment to this important initiative. Endowed Funds for Experiential Learning and Opportunity Grants $1,000,000 DePauw provides exceptional co-curricular opportunities to our students, but funds available to support these experiences do not meet the demand. Dedicated funds to support DePauw’s underrepresented students will change lives in immeasurable ways. Endowed Funds for Student Programming $1,000,000 Life outside the classroom is an important part of the collegiate experience. Dedicated funds for student programming let students determine relevant and desired academic and social activities. Endowed Funds for Inclusive Leadership Development $1,000,000 Ongoing education and development of the entire DePauw community is a critical factor in pursuit of a diverse and inclusive campus. The ability to consistently rely on funds for leadership development – from the Board of Trustees and beyond – is key to our commitment and success.
INITIATIVE TOTAL $8,000,000 6
The Inclusive Excellence Initiative at DePauw University
The Justin and Darrianne Christian Center for Diversity and Inclusion Scheduled for completion in the fall of 2017, the Justin and Darrianne Christian Center for Diversity and Inclusion (Center for Diversity and Inclusion) is a 10,000-square-foot facility that will house the Association of African American Students (AAAS) and Dorothy Brown Cultural Resource Center facilities and programs. The Center for Diversity and Inclusion will be positioned across Hanna Street from the Richard E. Peeler Art Center and will provide common space for large programming needs in addition to private offices and other spaces such as a full kitchen, a hair salon and media lounges. The building’s architects were guided by student feedback to create shared space suited to the specific needs of DePauw’s student groups. The Center for Diversity and Inclusion will provide an attractive and inspiring home for students and those on campus, and will also provide a welcoming venue for alumni, parents, friends and prospective students. Paying homage to the rich history of AAAS – founded at DePauw in 1968 by eight African American students – the Center for Diversity and Inclusion offers a first new space for one of the oldest, studentled organizations on campus. Planned visual identity for the space will assist AAAS in its mission to promote a sense of empowerment through which African American students can
explore their academic and social identities and to educate the entire campus community on many aspects of African American culture. The Dorothy Brown Cultural Resource Center will join AAAS in the new Center and houses United DePauw, the Committee for Latino Concerns, the Asian American Pacific Islander Initiative, the Asian American Resource Center and the International Student Center. The Cultural Resource Center is named in honor of Dorothy Brown, a grassroots activist and community leader who was the first African American to teach in Greencastle schools and served as principal of Ridpath School. Dorothy taught in DePauw’s education department from 1986 to 1989 and was appointed the Assistant Dean of Students for Minority Affairs by DePauw President Robert G. Bottoms in 1986. She is credited with being the first director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs and has lectured and led discussions for many multicultural programs and community initiatives. The Center for Diversity and Inclusion will signal the importance of a diverse and inclusive DePauw campus in an unmistakable way. Several naming opportunities exist within and around the Center.

The Inclusive Excellence Initiative at DePauw University Endowed Scholarships and The DePauw Trust
The Robert G. Bottoms Fund for Faculty Diversity
Arguably the single most impactful priority in The Campaign for DePauw, endowed scholarships – and particularly endowment that supports need-based aid to students – are the key to DePauw’s longstanding commitment to student access. The DePauw Trust is the University’s central endeavor to increase need-based support for deserving students who would otherwise be unable to attend DePauw. Increasing this type of support is critically important for the future of DePauw. Funds contributed to this permanent endowment will foster a more competitive admission posture and will significantly strengthen the profile of DePauw’s student body.
A diverse DePauw campus must include ethnic and racial diversity among all of those on campus – faculty, staff and students. During his tenure as DePauw’s 18th President, Bob Bottoms made a more diverse campus a hallmark of his presidency. As such, DePauw became a member of the Consortium for Faculty Diversity in the fall of 2000.
Referred to as “the Rector Scholarship of the future,” The DePauw Trust is an investment in the future strength of the University. The need-based scholarships awarded through The DePauw Trust will carry on in perpetuity and make a difference for generations to come. The University’s goal for The DePauw Trust in this campaign is at least $100 million, which will enable us to increase access for prospective students with demonstrated financial need. Scholarship endowments of all types are a highly coveted part of this campaign.
“My DePauw experience would not have been possible without the generosity of those who came before me. I was able to attend DePauw, concentrate on my major in computational mathematics and play two sports because DePauw met the majority of my significant financial need. My wife, Caren, and I care deeply about assisting students and believe that philanthropy is a learned and thankful behavior. We hope the endowed scholarship we’ve established to support underrepresented students in the STEM fields not only makes a life-changing DePauw education possible, but also inspires and encourages students at this critical time in their lives. We are truly blessed to help others with the belief that education at all levels is truly essential and worthy of financial support.” – MARVIN E. FLEWELLEN ’85, member of the Board of Trustees 8
The Consortium began as an association of liberal arts colleges dedicated to increasing and strengthening the diversity of faculty and students on their campuses. The program encourages and assists members of underrepresented minority groups to complete graduate studies and consider permanent employment at liberal arts colleges by focusing on enhancing the diversity of faculty members and applicants for faculty positions. The Robert G. Bottoms Fund for Faculty Diversity will assist DePauw in its efforts to recruit and retain a more diverse faculty, thereby enhancing the entire campus and educational experience. Proceeds from this endowment give DePauw the ability to increase its commitment to faculty diversity by offering a teaching fellowship in residency and course reassigned time to complete graduate studies. It is a fitting way to continue the tradition Dr. Bottoms started many years ago.
“When I first arrived at DePauw in the fall of 1985 there were fewer than 50 students of color on campus. The following year, at his inauguration, Bob Bottoms pledged to diversify the student body, faculty and administration. And he did just that! The Robert G. Bottoms Fund for Faculty Diversity is a fitting tribute to the man who, with the assistance of dedicated faculty and staff, brought meaningful social change to this University.” – JOHN A. DITTMER, professor emeritus of history
The Inclusive Excellence Initiative at DePauw University Endowed Funds for Experiential Learning and Opportunity Grants
Endowed Funds for Student Programming
Experiential learning is a critical part of the DePauw experience for all students. Opportunities to explore the world and apply curricular knowledge through practical experiences such as internships and off-campus study are transformational and important in our global society. Research shows that students who participate in experiential learning opportunities are more committed to completing their education.
Programming that supports academic, co-curricular and social activities enhances the student experience in meaningful and mission-centered ways. Although funds are available for student activities through student government, organizations must compete for these resources. Dedicated funds for programming available to student organizations housed in the Center for Diversity and Inclusion – as well as other underrepresented communities on campus – fulfill a need and ensure that students have access to necessary funds when and where needed most.
A significant number of DePauw students from diverse backgrounds (including racial, ethnic, socioeconomic and first generation) are unable to take advantage of these experiences. When students opt out of experiential learning opportunities, it is often due to insufficient financial resources. During the past academic year, nearly 300 DePauw students participated in internships and off-campus study. Unfortunately, less than 15 percent were students from diverse backgrounds with high financial need. An endowment to support experiential learning for DePauw’s underrepresented students is necessary, and there are many ways to contribute. DePauw can do better with your help.
“As parents of four, including a DePauw student, we give to the campus plan for Diversity and Inclusion because we support an environment where students are respected, encouraged to appreciate diversity in their community and have access to programs that celebrate and support diversity and inclusion. We believe this is a critical element in preserving the values of our democracy in an ever-changing world and improves students’ success in life.” – LAIRD AND DEIRDRE KOLDYKE, parents of Winona Koldyke, Class of 2019
Supporting endowment for student programming provides a gateway to experience and affords DePauw’s diverse communities the opportunity to supplement in-classroom learning with intentional and relevant opportunities for engagement and learning outside the classroom. Gifts to support student programming, such as the Alan P. and Jennett McGowan Hill Unity Endowed Fund, breathe life into the buildings and spaces occupied by DePauw’s students and enrich the experience of every person on campus.
“As we considered the range of opportunities to support DePauw, we decided that providing access to programming funds for DePauw’s underrepresented students really spoke to our hearts. The assurance of funding makes all the difference in the world to student groups, and the ability to provide powerful and intentional programming is incredibly important. We remember how important a sense of community was to our undergraduate experience and look forward to hearing the ways in which these funds will strengthen the DePauw campus. We couldn’t be more pleased to support students in this way.” – ALAN P. HILL ’81, vice president for student academic life and dean of experiential learning at DePauw, and Jennett McGowan Hill ’85

Won’t You Join Us?
DePauw’s long-term and successful commitment to diversity and inclusion hinges on the continuous education and development of all campus partners. The University’s work in this regard will never stop, and our pursuit of excellence must remain a guiding light. DePauw has the capacity to be a national leader in this effort among liberal arts schools of its size and influence. The past few years have witnessed encouraging progress. From the Power, Privilege and Diversity curricular requirements to the adoption of a campus-wide Day of Dialogue, there is an increasing focus on the hard work of building an inclusive and respectful campus community. It is real, and DePauw is marching forward to lead in this important work. Dedicated funds that support the ongoing education and development of University leadership are central to the mission of this initiative. This includes not only the administration, faculty and staff, but also the Board of Trustees, alumni volunteers and other DePauw stakeholders. The work before us is meaningful, and it is critical in the ongoing development of all campus constituents. The ability to have access to ongoing resources for this effort alleviates the pressures of annual budgets and provides the consistency necessary for intentional and impactful change.
“DePauw’s dedication to its academic mission extends far beyond its physical boundaries into the communities that are shaped by our alumni. Historically marginalized identities intersecting with race, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status shape both the complexity and the opportunity of American society. The endeavors of this initiative will safeguard DePauw University’s commitment to the work of diversity and inclusion, as well as its transformative opportunities. These will bring us closer together as a university, to be powerfully and meaningfully ‘different together.’” – ANNE F. HARRIS, vice president for academic affairs 10
DePauw University relies on philanthropic support to exist, and it has done so since its inception in 1837. The support of alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff and students is inspiring and central to DePauw’s mission of educating global citizens poised to make a positive difference in the world. All that happens on DePauw’s campus is possible only because private support makes it so. The ability to transform DePauw and create a more inclusive and welcoming campus community lies in the support of those who believe in this cause. There is a deep and abiding commitment on behalf of those on campus – the faculty, staff, students and administration – to make DePauw the best institution of its kind in the world. The support demonstrated by the alumni, parents and friends outside our campus borders tells the same story. DePauw has a strong history of leadership, both on campus and throughout our alumni achievements. This initiative is an opportunity for DePauw to continue its work as a beacon for others across the nation to emulate. Please join those included in these pages in this important work. Although there are a variety of ways to be engaged and involved at DePauw, philanthropic support is also necessary to make these dreams a reality. Every donor and every dollar makes a difference. We encourage you to be in touch and discover the variety of ways you can make a difference now and long into the future. Thank you for all you do to support DePauw University.
