Diversity & Inclusion Programs Inclusion Advocates
Inclusion Advocates are DEI Council members who advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion within their divisions. They are trained to help advance the learnings in support of our values.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION PROGRAMS LGBTQ+ Initiatives
Jefferson is committed to enhancing the environment for all sexual orientations and gender identities. Our responsibility to the LGBTQ+ community, particularly when it comes to healthcare, is not just a goal – it is a priority. For the LGBTQ+ community, we know that disparities, both in and out of healthcare, is a major issue. Jefferson’s LGBTQ+ Executive Committee, LGBTQ+ Health Champions Group and the Jefferson LGBTQ+ Student Group have created strategy, initiatives and activities to promote LGBTQ+ both internal and external to Jefferson.
Coming soon Student Center for Inclusive Excellence
The Center for Inclusive Excellence will foster diversity, inclusion, and social justice engagement across East Falls and Center City Campuses by providing relevant programs and events that create, support, and encourage a diverse and inclusive campus culture. The Center for Inclusive Excellence will support inclusion related initiatives between campus partners, academic departments, student clubs, and organizations. Additionally, the Center for Inclusive Excellence will provide resources, such as meeting and programming spaces, and multi-use dialogue and study spaces.
