EDI Faculty and Staff Professional Development Program (EDI-PDP): The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Faculty/Staff Professional Development Program (EDI-PDP) engages Tulane faculty and staff in building capacity to contribute to and sustain EDI across Tulane campuses. The EDI-PDP is a new program of the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) launching in Fall of 2022. The program is delivered in partnership with the Human Resources Office of Institutional Equity (HR-OIE) and other EDI-related offices and programs across the university.

Kendi, author of Stamped from the Beginning and How to Be an Anti-Racist.
