From Input to Action: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

How do you gather, analyze, and implement data in order to achieve diversity, equity, and inclusion? In this Accelerate Your Performance podcast episode, Dr. Janet Pilcher invites Angela Frazier Arthur, Vice President of Student Services at Waukesha County Technical College, and Sherry Simmons, Chief Diversity and Compliance Officer at Waukesha County Technical College, to discuss how they gathered data through surveys and translated it into actions to improve campus diversity and inclusion. In this episode, they dive into their three-year data-gathering period, what they have learned, how they gathered momentum for change, what obstacles they have faced, and advice they have for other leaders seeking to enact change and growth.

This episode addresses questions, such as:

• Why is gathering data an important step of the improvement process, and how might you start gathering data in your organization to seek growth and development?  
• How can you cultivate a culture of continuous improvement in your organization? 
• What impact can diversity, equity, and inclusion have on a campus as well as an organization?
