Our Actions

A Presidential Fellowship program to provide diverse leadership opportunities for mid-career faculty has been launched, with the first appointments soon to be announced.

Update, June 2022: The first Presidential Fellow, Tyson Brown, was appointed for Academic Year 2021-22. The next fellow will be announced in the coming weeks.

The Provost’s faculty leadership program incorporates approaches that are more consistently equitable and effective in addressing racism, expand current workshops to support units in producing systemic change, and works with partners inside and outside of Duke to offer programs and resources for leaders on topics related to diversity and equity.

The Executive Vice President and Chancellor for Health Affairs will also expand and monitor diverse leadership opportunities and ensure that systems, policies and procedures are in place to promote racial equity at all organizational levels.
