- [00:00:00.000](upbeat music)
- [00:00:08.550]Innovation and creativity advance the goal
- [00:00:11.300]of making the University of Nebraska
- [00:00:13.600]welcoming and accessible to all.
- [00:00:16.590]Inclusive excellence development grants
- [00:00:19.210]provide system level support for programs
- [00:00:22.030]that do the hard work
- [00:00:23.580]of forging the best environment possible
- [00:00:26.280]for students, faculty and staff.
- [00:00:28.630]Inclusive excellence development grants were awarded
- [00:00:31.280]to the college of education and human sciences
- [00:00:33.860]and the office of graduate studies.
- [00:00:35.985]These system level grants provide support
- [00:00:38.757]for the AFIRE Pledge Program
- [00:00:40.690]and the inclusive excellence development program
- [00:00:43.240]for graduate students.
- [00:00:45.017](whooshing sound)
- [00:00:45.850]The AFIRE Pledge Program promotes inclusive excellence
- [00:00:49.380]through conversations, learning, and connection.
- [00:00:52.570]Students, faculty and staff are encouraged
- [00:00:54.850]to attend three workshops or activities each semester.
- [00:00:58.770]There's some short term goals
- [00:01:00.110]specifically with the pledge program
- [00:01:02.140]that are about providing educational opportunities,
- [00:01:05.490]generating an energy about diversity
- [00:01:09.790]and inclusive excellence in the college
- [00:01:11.920]and helping people connect with
- [00:01:13.330]other folks who are also interested in this types of topics.
- [00:01:17.250]And then a longterm goal is to use those connections
- [00:01:22.510]and the knowledge and skills that we're learning
- [00:01:25.110]to really change the culture in the college,
- [00:01:27.410]to be more affirming for the depth and the breadth
- [00:01:30.470]of our students and employees here.
- [00:01:33.373](whooshing sound)
- [00:01:35.030]A leadership development program
- [00:01:36.770]will help enrich the experience of graduate students.
- [00:01:40.150]Community conversations and a needs assessment
- [00:01:43.120]will provide the foundation
- [00:01:44.550]for a robust inclusive leadership program
- [00:01:47.470]shaped to the needs of the campus.
- [00:01:49.870]The ultimate goal for our initiative
- [00:01:52.060]is to develop an inclusive leadership experience
- [00:01:56.020]for graduate students, as there are future faculty
- [00:01:59.360]and leaders across various disciplines worldwide, even.
- [00:02:03.200]So we wanted to provide an opportunity
- [00:02:05.490]for them to become more culturally competent leaders
- [00:02:08.111]and team members in culturally diverse organization.
- [00:02:11.970]The Inclusive Excellence Collaboration Award
- [00:02:15.000]recognizes contributions that advance a culture
- [00:02:18.040]of diversity inclusion and equity.
- [00:02:20.780]This year's award honors,
- [00:02:22.150]the Rural Law Opportunities Program
- [00:02:24.320]and the Underserved Law Opportunities Program.
- [00:02:27.358](whooshing sound)
- [00:02:28.191]The Nebraska College of Law
- [00:02:29.850]works with undergraduate students across the state
- [00:02:32.370]to expand justice to rural and underserved communities.
- [00:02:36.506]The Underserved Law Opportunities Program
- [00:02:39.610]helped Emma Franklin forge connections with the law college
- [00:02:43.110]when she was an undergraduate
- [00:02:44.830]at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
- [00:02:47.640]I think that direct connection
- [00:02:49.610]between my undergrad at UNO and Nebraska Law
- [00:02:53.700]was really valuable.
- [00:02:54.970]The Rural Law Opportunities Program
- [00:02:57.210]offers scholarships and other to qualifying students
- [00:03:00.500]at the University of Nebraska Kearney
- [00:03:02.360]and two state colleges.
- [00:03:04.250]Both programs help recruit and retain students
- [00:03:07.046]and enrich the environment at the College of Law
- [00:03:10.630]I love the idea of producing lawyers
- [00:03:13.750]that go advanced justice in underserved areas.
- [00:03:17.690]And what this is doing is helping us build
- [00:03:19.750]that pipeline of students
- [00:03:21.230]who are interested in that from the very beginning.
- [00:03:23.610]And then they come here and get a great legal education
- [00:03:27.610]and then hopefully we'll go back out into Nebraska
- [00:03:30.204]to represent people who need it the most.
- [00:03:32.762]Across the campus and the state of Nebraska
- [00:03:36.200]efforts to advance diversity and inclusion
- [00:03:39.140]promote the university of Nebraska Lincoln's mission
- [00:03:41.840]to ensure every person and every interaction matters.
- [00:03:45.942](upbeat music)
