DEIB STRATEGIC PLAN

By focusing on diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in all aspects of our program and community, we are committed to imparting a culturally responsive global understanding that becomes an integral part and celebrated outcome of a Stuart education. We will fully demonstrate our Sacred Heart commitment by defining and operationalizing a DEIB strategy and action plan that welcomes and respects persons of all faiths and educates and empowers students to "eradicate social structures, practices, and systems that perpetuate racism and other injustices" (SH Goal III, Criteria 3)

OBJECTIVE 1: Develop programming designed to grow each student's understanding of the worlds of others, deepen their capacity to effectively interact and lead in a complex, interconnected world, and strengthen their commitment to advocate for principles of inclusion, equity and justice.

OBJECTIVE 2: Provide ongoing, in-depth professional learning for Stuart colleagues so that they become instrumental partners and catalysts in imparting a culturally responsive global understanding to the Stuart community.

OBJECTIVE 3: Continue to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion at the Board level, as well as in hiring practices, the admission process, and participation in student activities.

OBJECTIVE 4: Establish pathways (formal and informal) for Stuart alumnae, faculty, families, and students to share their experiences and lend their voices to our ongoing DEIB work.
